Ancient Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin is located in the small town of Kozelets in the Chernigov region. The temple is recognized as one of the best Ukrainian shrines erected in the Baroque era. Kozeletsky Cathedral is considered a unique representative of the temple architecture of the 18th century.
The magnificent temple was erected in 1752-1763 by the order of the Countess Natalia Razumovskaya, and to this day it amazes visitors with its magnificent decor, and also uncharacteristic for the provincial town with its size and rich decoration.
All visitors have the opportunity to admire the most valuable decoration of the cathedral - its iconostasis. According to some historians, the iconostasis was made in Italy and was intended for the St. Petersburg Cathedral of the Smolny Monastery. However, after manufacturing it turned out that it was great for Smolny and, at the behest of the empress, was donated to the Kozelets Cathedral. The height of the iconostasis is twenty-seven meters, and the magnificent paintings for its decoration were made by the talented Ukrainian artist Grigory Stetsenko. Impressive is not only the huge size, but also the unique highly artistic carving and amazing paintings of this masterpiece.
The cathedral is crowned with five domes on high drums. The basis of the construction of this Ukrainian nine-chambered temple is an equilateral Greek cross, between the ends of which additional rooms are provided that enhance the grandeur of the structure.
For many years of existence, the cathedral has had many tests. In its walls there were stables, a camp for prisoners of war and even a warehouse for fruits and vegetables. But thanks to the efforts of many people and the painstaking work of restorers, the cathedral was restored and shone with its former beauty.
The temple is divided into two parts: the upper and lower. The upper part of the cathedral was named after the Nativity of the Mother of God. The lower church is lit in honor of the martyrs Andrian and Natalia.
According to an old legend, in a clear and sunny weather from the bell tower, which is located next to the church, you can simultaneously see Chernigov and Kiev. The architecture of the bell tower is surprising with its originality. Especially interesting are the concave facade walls, reminiscent of the image of the Trinity Cathedral in Chernigov. The ascent to the bell tower is possible only with the agreement of the rector of the cathedral.
The Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin is in the village of Kozelets, on Komsomolskaya Street 4. It's very easy to get to Kozeltsa, so it is located directly on the "Kiev-Chernigov" highway. Of the two megalopolises, regular buses and fixed-route taxis regularly come here.
