The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Holy and Equal-to-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene stands at al. Solidarności 52 in Warsaw, Poland. Built in Russian Revival style and designed by architect Nikolay Sychyov, this brick cathedral opened in 1869 to serve the growing Russian community in the area of present-day Praga Północ. It emerged as one of only two free-standing Orthodox churches in Warsaw to survive the twentieth century intact, never destroyed or repurposed during the Second Republic. Today it functions as the main Polish Orthodox Church and serves as the cathedral for the Diocese of Warsaw-Bielsk. The building was registered as a municipal immovable monument on July 1, 1965.
