Boriso-Gleb Cathedral is an Orthodox church in the city of Ryazan. It stands on Senna Street, next to the Trubezh River. Tourist attraction.

History The first wooden cathedral church in the name of the holy benign princes Boris and Gleb existed here since 1152, almost from the founding of Pereslavl Ryazan. She stood at the entrance to the city. When, after the ruin of Ryazan in 1237, the Ryazan Metropolitan moved from the ruined Old Ryazan to Pereslavl-Ryazan, he founded his residence next to Boris and Glebovsky Church. In 1521, in this cathedral began to serve Iona II (Archbishop of Ryazan).

The stone temple was mentioned in 1568, but after the devastating attack of the Zaporozhye Cossacks of Sagaidachny in 1618 , the cathedral was destroyed. The architect of the modern building was the outstanding Yakov Grigoryevich Bukhvostov, the founder of the Assumption Cathedral in the Ryazan Kremlin. In 1840 and 1870, the Boriso-Glebovsky Cathedral was rebuilt. In 1917, he was plundered, and all valuables were sent to Moscow. In the 1930s, the building was used as a granary. In 1988 the cathedral was returned to believers.
