The Holy Dormition Cathedral

 The Holy Dormition Cathedral in Tashkentwas erected on January 31, 1879 in honor of Panteleimon. The building is Orthodox Church of Tashkent diocese. In 1878 the cathedral was rebuilt as there was no enough place for people who came to hold service. The church served as warehouse of hospital until 1945. After the end of war, the building was to perform its primary function.
