Repair work scheduled for the four bells' dome within Christ the Saviour church
The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow, a significant religious site and architectural marvel, continues to serve its purpose without any reported ongoing restoration works on its domes, bell towers, or facades, according to the latest 2025 information.
Despite its towering 69.5-meter-high Orthodox dome, which makes it one of the tallest in the world, no current restoration activities have been documented, with sources focusing instead on architectural details [1]. The cathedral has remained functional, hosting major religious ceremonies such as the Divine Liturgy celebrated by Patriarch Kirill as recently as February 2024 [4].
Major public events, including Orthodox Easter services attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Patriarch Kirill, have been held at the cathedral without mention of any restoration inconveniences, suggesting the cathedral is in good working condition [3][4].
Meanwhile, the N. A. Durasov Palace in Lublin has completed its restoration works. The facades, covering over 13,200 square meters, have been repaired, with craftsmen preparing to install new coverings, manufacture new finials, and conduct repairs on the fifth bell tower above the entrance to the lower church [2].
The restoration process included the stucco decoration, the elimination of minor cracks, and the replacement of downspouts, eaves coverings, and window sills. The white-stone basement, columns, and ceilings of the gallery-columnades have also been restored [2].
In 2023, specialists renewed the southern side of the cathedral, removing coverings of nearly 1,900 square meters from the domes and repairing the metallic framework [2]. The palace's staircases and railings were also restored [2].
As for the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow, restoration works are currently underway on four bell towers [5]. However, no specific reports detailing these works have been found in the latest 2025 sources.
In summary, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow is fully operational and hosting major religious ceremonies as of 2024–2025 [3][4]. No recent or ongoing restoration works on its domes, bell towers, or facades are reported in available 2025 information. The cathedral's dome remains a prominent architectural feature noted for its height, but its restoration status is not documented in current sources [1]. The restoration of the N. A. Durasov Palace in Lublin, on the other hand, has been completed.
While the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow continues to serve its purpose, focusing on architectural details rather than restoration works, the N. A. Durasov Palace in Lublin has undergone home-and-garden renovations, with repairs to facades, installations of new coverings, and repairs on the fifth bell tower above the entrance to the lower church. The restoration of the prestigious palace includes stucco decoration, repairs of minor cracks, and replacement of downspouts, eaves coverings, and window sills, bringing a change to the lifestyle of the architecture enthusiasts who appreciate its beauty.
