In the late 19th century, a new variant of the "Russian" style emerged, aiming to imitate the architecture of the 17th century. This period was considered the time of flourishing Russian artistic genius and the formation of the Moscow style, known for its rich decor. The architecture of the 17th century, whose development was interrupted by the reforms of Peter I, became the main source of inspiration for new creativity. Architects sought to revive pre-Petrine architecture. An example of this period is the Transfiguration Church, laid on August 27, 1889. Its construction lasted four years, funded by the manufacturer M.N. Garelina, and it was consecrated on August 24, 1893. The church project was developed by Moscow architect Alexander Stepanovich Kaminsky. The facades of the temple are adorned with kokoshniks and tent-like towers at the corners. The church is topped with an octagon with five domes on high faceted drums. Luxurious window frames, cornices, and two-tiered kokoshniks give the building a festive appearance. To the west, a tall tent-like bell tower with 12 bells adjoins the church. Three entrances are highlighted by tent-like porches. Many architectural details are borrowed from the architecture of the late 17th century. Next to the main entrance, a two-story brick house for the clergy was built. In the central part of the church, a three-tiered iconostasis is installed, while in the chapels of the venerable martyr Nikon and the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God, two-tiered iconostases are designed according to Kaminsky's drawings. The icons were painted by Moscow artist Y.I. Ruchkin. Several ancient icons were transferred from the Garelins' home chapel to the church. The wall paintings were done by artist I.V. Belousov. M.N. Garelina and his wife were buried in the churchyard. Initially, the Transfiguration Church accommodated 700 people, residents of the village of Rylikha, which became the village of Transfiguration after the church was built and was incorporated into the city after the February Revolution of 1917. Since 1931, the church was used by two Orthodox communities, leading to conflicts. By the decision of the regional executive committee on May 19, 1940, the church was closed, and the interior was destroyed. Two years later, believers appealed for the registration of a community, and services resumed on November 17, 1944. After the creation of the Ivanovo-Shuya, then Ivanovo-Kineshma diocese, the Transfiguration Church became the cathedral. The side chapels were consecrated in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. In the post-war period, the wall paintings and interior decoration were recreated. In 1956, a carved gilded iconostasis in the baroque style was brought from the village of Sarajevo. This village belonged to A.V. Suvorov in the 18th century.
