The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Holy Trinity was designed by architect I.I.Epinger for Orthodox pilgrims in 1860-1864. The cathedral, a traditional three-nave cross-shaped domed structure, follows the blueprint of the buildings of the Russian St. Panteleymon's Monastery on Mount Athos (Greece). The cathedral was consecrated in 1872, with Prince Nicholai Nicholayevich the Elder present. The Cathedral is owned by the Russian Mission in Jerusalem.

The Cathedral was founded on 12 July 1893 on Stt. Peter and Paul’s day. The construction was funded by donations of the Russian community of Karlovy Vary. The Byzantium style cathedral follows the traditional pattern of the 17th century churches in the Moscow and Yaroslavl regions. The construction was supervised by architect D.V. Viderman who used as a guide a design by architect D.V. Ukhtomsky. The six bells, the Gospels, and church plate were brought over from Russia. The cathedral was consecrated in 1897, in the presence of the twelve priests who came from the twelve Russian embassies in Europe. The Cathedral is the town church of the Russian Orthodox Church in Karlovy Vary.

The construction of the Cathedral, which began in 1893 and was led by architect G.I.Kotov, was finishedin 1899. The three-storey building is a fine example of Russian- Byzantium style. A chapel in the upper floor is dedicated to St. Nicholas, a great Christian miracle-worker. A chapel in the ground floor is dedicated to St.Alexander, Prince Nevsky. The main entrance to the Cathedral boasts a mosaic icon of the Resurrection of Christ, which was made in Venice and brought to Russia. St. Nicholas's Cathedral is owned by the Vienna-Austria eparchy of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Designed by architect I.V.Berchezan, the cathedral was built in 1901-1902 with assistance of the Russian Orthodox Church and donations from Christians in Russia. The Cathedral is one of the most beautiful buildings in New York. The central portal is built from grey stone and boasts exquisite carvings. The building also benefits from terracotta and colourful majolicas. St. Nicholas's Cathedral is the seat of the Russian Orthodox Church in the USA.

The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Alexey was built as a memorial to those Russian soldiers who were killed in the battle of Leipzig in 1813. The building was designed by architect V.A.Pokrovsky and was built in 1912-1913. The cathedral is a single-dome construction with hipped roof. The cathedral with its traditional Russian style stands out from the German architectural environment. In 1945 Marshal Zhukov ordered for the cathedral to be fully renovated. Now the Cathedral is owned by the German eparchy of the Russian Orthodox Church.
