Cathedral of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God

In this church, Emperor Alexander I prayed, who visited Olonets in 1819. And instead of the wooden church that stood on the island, he ordered to build a stone church in honor of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God. The cathedral was distinguished by its height, dynamism and volume. Built on the site of the miraculous appearance of the icon of the Virgin, this church in Olonets witnessed the heyday and decline of the fortified city.
