Saint Sophia Cathedral, Zhytomyr

Saint Sophia Cathedral (Ukrainian: Кафедральний собор св.

Софії; Polish: Katedra Świętej Zofii) is a Catholic church that serves as the principal church of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kyiv-Zhytomyr, Ukraine.

The temple was built between 1746 and 1748 and was founded by Bishop Samuel Jan Ozga.

After a fire in 1768, the church was converted into a Classical-style three-nave building.

In Soviet times, it was closed to the faithful for several years, and the priests were arrested and sent to labor camps.
