Review:
Identified as a U.S. National Historic Landmark, while also being listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, St. Michael's Cathedral has a long and rich history. It was the first Orthodox cathedral to be established in North America and opened its doors to Russian explorers, hunters, and missionaries in 1848. The cathedral was built during the short amount of time when Alaska was controlled by Russia and is recognized for bringing the Orthodox faith to its people. What you see today is not the original structure, as that was destroyed in a fire in 1966, but is a newly designed landmark that has become prominent in Sitka over the years.
