Cathedral of the Resurrection
Narva's Resurrection Cathedral was built in 1890–1896 for the workers of the Krenholm cotton mill: at director Ivan Prove's initiative the shareholders gave 500,000 roubles, and Prove gave the land. The foundation stone was laid on 5 August 1890 in the presence of Tsar Alexander III and Empress Maria Feodorovna, at the time Alexander met the German Kaiser Wilhelm II in Narva. Designed by Paul Alisch, it is the only Neo-Byzantine church in Estonia, its walls banded in red and yellow brick, its main dome 21.5 metres wide, with room for 2,000 worshippers. It came through the Second World War almost unharmed and was the only working Orthodox church in post-war Narva.

Narva Kristuse Ülestõusmise peakirik ehitati aastatel 1890–1896 Kreenholmi puuvillavabriku töölistele: direktor Ivan Prove algatusel annetasid aktsionärid 500 000 rubla ja Prove andis maa. Nurgakivi pandi 5. augustil 1890 keiser Aleksander III ja keisrinna Maria Fjodorovna juuresolekul samal ajal, kui Aleksander kohtus Narvas Saksa keiser Wilhelm II-ga. Paul Alischi projekteeritud kirik on Eesti ainus neobütsantsi stiilis kirik: seinad on punaste ja kollaste tellistega vöödiliseks laotud, peakupli läbimõõt on 21,5 meetrit ja kirikusse mahub 2000 inimest. Teise maailmasõja elas see üle peaaegu vigastamata ja oli sõjajärgses Narvas ainus tegutsev õigeusu kirik.
