The Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ is located in Staro-Borisovo on the market square and is a monument of the retrospective Russian style. Before the construction of the cathedral, there was a wooden church on its site, which burned down in 1867. After that, the St. Petersburg architect Pyotr Merkulov, with the participation of the rector of the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg Leonty Benois, developed a project for a new temple - the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ made of red brick. The consecration of the temple took place in 1874. The nine-domed three-apse temple, with a cube-like, square in plan central volume, is a cross in plan. Among the decorative elements of the richly decorated facade are kokoshniks, platbands with semicircular and triangular pediments, profiled cornices, corner rusticated pilasters, panels, contrasting with the red brick background.
