'''Transfiguration Cathedral''' is [[Russia]]n Orthodox church located inside the earthen rampart of the [[Belozersk]]' Kremlin in [[Vologda Oblast|Vologda region]]. It is a three-[[apse]] four-pillar temple with five onion-like [[dome]]s,  and is the dominant building of Kremlin.
Its construction had started in 1668 and was fully completed only by the end of the 1670s.  The architecture of the temple was designed in archaic forms as it was typical for the second half of the XVII-th century. However, the  facades' decoration was developed in the style typical for more early period – those of local architecture of the XVI-th century. Currently the Transfiguration Cathedral functions as a museum  and is managed by the Belozersky Local Museum.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.belozermus.ru/|script-title=ru:Белозерский областной краеведческий музей (Belozersk Local Museum)|publisher=Белозерский областной краеведческий музей (Belozersk Local Museum's official site)|language=ru|access-date=November 21, 2013}}</ref> The museum is open to the public from May to October.<ref>{{cite web
