Famous church attractions in Kazakhstan: Ascension Cathedral in Almaty. Suitable for taking photos, checking in, parent-child games, and sightseeing!

#2月好去2025 Kazakhstan is a world-renowned tourist resort city, and tourists from all over the world come to Kazakhstan for sightseeing and vacation. Kazakhstan has famous lakes, parks, churches, opera houses, etc. Today we recommend a famous church attraction: Almaty Ascension Cathedral. This is an Orthodox cathedral with a long history. In 1911, an earthquake occurred and all the buildings were damaged. Only the Ascension Cathedral stood firm and has been preserved to this day. Next to it is a square with amusement facilities, horse riding, and pigeon feeding for leisure and entertainment, and next to it is a large park. Complete supporting facilities and free to visit! The church is about 6 stories high and is a typical dome building with the dome made up of four colors: red, blue, yellow and green. The surrounding area is covered with windows, which makes the interior appear more spacious and bright. The interior decoration is gorgeous, elegant and unique. Icon paintings are indispensable. The painting style is Russian and combines the style of post-Renaissance Catholic churches. Most people in Kazakhstan can speak Russian and Uyghur. Every weekend, there are endless people coming to visit and pray. It is a very suitable place for taking photos, checking in, and family vacations and sightseeing! Address: Gogol St. 40B Panfilov Park, Almaty, Kazakhstan Opening hours: 10:00-17:00
