Kazakhstan.
Almaty.
A beautiful cathedral in a green park in the central part of the city.
A masterpiece of wooden architecture.
* One of the business cards of the city of Almaty is rightly considered to be the Cathedral in honor of the Ascension of the Lord ...
* The temple is incredibly beautiful and truly unique.
* The clearest example of earthquake-resistant wooden architecture from the very beginning of the XX century.
*
At that time, it seemed absolutely incredible to build a building above a couple of floors, the city of Verniy (as Almaty was then called) was constantly shaken by terrible earthquakes, completely sweeping away city buildings. Nevertheless, in 1904-1907, a beautiful wooden temple was built, and the height of its structures reached 54 meters, which seemed completely unthinkable...
From 1929 to 1985, the cathedral was used as the building of the Central State Museum of Kazakhstan.
Then, as a concert and exhibition pavilion. And in 1995 it was returned to believers.
An incredibly beautiful temple . Around the "temple there is a huge urban garden, poplars, oaks, pines, linden trees grow, cheerful small shrubs rustle, iris and roses bloom, fountains beat."
It was already night and I was not destined to get inside. But the fact that to see such beauty and the courage of engineering thought did not stop before the idea of seeing and capturing the temple.
Browse and you are friends! Happy travels to you, and please like me

A beautiful cathedral. It looks expensive and rich. Outside there is a landscaped area, lots of flowers and greenery.
There are information boards and signs.
There are a lot of tourists. There are no prohibitions on photographing. There are no dissatisfied faces. On the one hand, this is good. On the other hand, some tourists, out of ignorance and their culture, are arrogant in terms of photographing
Pleasant impressions of the painting and decoration.
Not far from the temple, on the one hand, pigeons are fed during the day, on the other hand, in the evening they play volleyball on the asphalt quite massively. An interesting combination.

The Ascension Cathedral is a majestic symbol of history and spirituality, which impresses with its splendor and beauty. The majestic architectural ensemble of the cathedral captures the imagination and inspires awe. The interior of the cathedral is admired for its luxury and sophistication, every detail of which seems to be permeated with historical events and spiritual traditions. A visit to the Ascension Cathedral becomes a real journey through time and space, immersing in the atmosphere of greatness and sanctity. Thanks to this cathedral, I gain not only an impressive experience of exploring history and culture, but also the peace and inner peace that the spiritual greatness of this place brings.

It's an amazing place. It is bright, warm, airy, with a joyful, kind atmosphere. I can't even believe that the building is entirely made of wood. Very beautiful stained glass windows, unusual for Orthodox architecture. I want to come back here

My favorite temple. One of the iconic places of my beloved city since when there was a museum there. a magnificent building, magnificent paintings, beautiful icons. And when the bells ring, those who just pass by stop and freeze for a while.

A very beautiful cathedral and a pleasant park, if you're lucky you can see a squirrel and even mice. Mice really hide quickly (not to be confused with rats). There are horse rides on the map. Definitely worth a visit.

I have been to the divine service more than once. The cathedral is very beautiful from the outside and inside! The Ascension Cathedral is an Orthodox church in Almaty, on the territory of the park named after 28 Panfilov Guards, one of the two cathedrals of the Astana and Almaty dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church.
With a height of 41.4 (up to the bell tower's cross ball) or 54 m in general, it is one of the tallest wooden churches in the world; an example of earthquake-resistant structures. It is included in the list of historical and cultural monuments of Kazakhstan of republican significance.

Yes, it is the most unique creation of wooden architecture [Tien Shan spruce without a single nail], which has survived to the present day!
Briefly about the main thing:
"A very unusual multi-colored coloring of the building, inside it is even more beautiful and majestic"!

Beautiful and sincere (a gracious atmosphere inside) The cathedral. When we visit Alma-Ata, we are happy to visit it. The church shop is located in front of the entrance to the Cathedral, on the right. Go in before visiting the Cathedral (buy candles, order a service, etc.).

Monumental. The park near it is a popular place. It's nice to walk there. In general, the place where there is a temple is somehow soothing.
It's good to walk there without fuss and haste.
I have not been inside the temple.

The Ascension Cathedral. The height is 41.4 to the crosspiece of the bell tower or 54 m in total. It is one of the tallest wooden churches in the world. The original designs of the high-rise building ensured the reliability of the structure during the earthquake of 1910. It was built entirely of wooden parts connected to each other with metal fasteners. "At a grandiose height, it was a very flexible structure. His bell tower swayed and bent like the top of a tall tree and worked like a flexible beam." Only the bent cross reminds of the earthquake...
