Lonely Planet review

Back out on the main path, you can't miss the seven gleaming gold domes of the Dormition Cathedral , a year-2000 replica of the famous and sacred original. To this day historians are unsure whether the Nazis or the Soviets were responsible for blowing up the original. You can enter the church only during services, typically held Saturday afternoons at and Sunday mornings at . The big rock in the square between the cathedral and the bell tower is a fragment of the original cathedral.
