St. Stephen's Cathedral
The real pearl and decoration of Syktyvkar is the St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Church Center of Orthodoxy of the Republic of Komi, and the center of the Vorkuta and Syktyvkar Diocese. Against the background of ordinary high-rise buildings, this temple looks like something, over which time is not powerful. His exacting white beauty and impeccable forms are of genuine interest.
The height of the modern restored five-domed church reaches up to 57 meters, and together with the cross - about 64 meters. To rebuild this temple was decided to the 500th anniversary of the death of St. Stephen of Perm, who started the Christianization of the Komi people in 1379.
Compound of Troitsky Stefano-Ulyanovsk Monastery
This farmstead was rebuilt in the 19th century. According to the legend, St Stephen, Bishop of Perm, in the 14th century created a man's abode. Funds for the construction of the farmstead in 1866 were donated by the merchant widow Sidorov. This structure was a house of logs two stories high covered with planks.
Gradually, the courtyard grew. Today, the Diocesan Administration of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Nativity of Christ are located here.
The house of the merchant Sukhanov
This is an aging building, built of flint stone. Two-story house was erected in the 19th century. First there was the estate of Elisei Sukhanov, and after his grandson Stepan Sukhanov invested six and a half thousand rubles in the construction of the house-an outlandish sum, especially at the beginning of the 19th century!
In this luxurious house, by the end of the 19th century, Ust-Sysolsk Uyezd School of the highest degree was located. In the 20th century, the Russian party school moved here. Today one of the branches of the Komi National Museum is located here.
