= Assumption Cathedral in Winter Night = View from a park of Pushkin on the beautiful architectural ensemble of the white-stone Assumption Cathedral (Rus: Uspensky Sobor) and standing behind tall bell tower topped with a golden spire framed by naked trees and and old-style street lights in a cold winter evening (it is getting dark very early in winter season in Russia). The magnificent five-domed cathedral was designed as a sepulcher of grand princes and was dedicated to the holy icon of Vladimir Theotokos, which had been brought as a gift to the city by Andrew the Pious. It was constructed in 1158-1161 by Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky, but was rebuilt and expanded by Prince Vsevolod “The Big Nest” in 1185-1189 after its walls were damaged by fire. In 1810 a lofty bell-tower in the neoclassical style was added to the architectural ensemble.
