S. Sophia Cathedral

  The cathedral locates at No.95 Tou Long Street. Dao Li District and belongs to First Class Preserved Building.
  Originally built in 1907, it was firstly a wooden structure cathedral used by the army. In 1923, it was reconstructed to meet the need of the increasing number of Orthodox Eastern believers. The construction lasted for nine years and finished in 1932. It became the largest wooden structure cathedral in the Far-Eastern area. Deeply influenced by Byzantine architectural features, the building owns Russian style domes、Rome type arch high windows and many kinds of combinations of architectural arts. Especially after the reconstruction in 1997, it became a bright spot in the architectural scenery of Harbin. When dusk comes, the setting sun reflects on the domes. Viewing the cloud like flocks of pigeons、listening to flowing water like music and strolling through the Sophia Square ,you can not help feeling relaxed and happy. Now the church has become Harbin Architectural Art Gallery.
