Fodor's Expert Review St. Catherine’s Cathedral
Kherson
Dating back to the 1780s, the sandstone cathedral is one of the oldest churches in Southern Ukraine. It was used as a museum of atheism during the Soviet Era, before being transformed into a storehouse in the 1960s. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the cathedral was reclaimed by the Russian Orthodox Church and once again serves as a house of worship. A Tuscan portico leads into the church, which houses the tomb of famed statesman Prince Grigory Potemkin.
