Everything is perfectly organized, starting from the exterior of the Cathedral and ending with any little thing inside. It is very interesting, the exhibits can be viewed closely, but you can not touch them). I advise you to visit for cultural education, the place will not leave you indifferent!
Good afternoon, Thanks to the entire staff of the museum for their kindness and responsiveness. The opportunity to visit the museum and get acquainted with its history. To examine the details of past building materials, to see the authentic details of the painting of the walls of the temple. A lot of work has been done to preserve the old fragments of the temple. Good luck to everyone. Good luck.
It's a very atmospheric place. On weekends, you should definitely attend an organ music concert (it is better to specify the schedule in advance). There is a stunning view of the river
The incredibly beautiful St. Sophia Cathedral has an interesting and controversial history. I was surprised that it has not yet been transferred to the orthodox church for some reason. In Veliky Novgorod, Sofia on the territory of the Kremlin has long been transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church. Admission is paid, the ticket price is quite affordable compared to the museums of St. Petersburg. We took a personal tour, the guide was a researcher, he told us everything in detail and in detail. Amazing interiors. A holy place for Christians.
Beautifully majestic. The organ concert was impressive. Of the disadvantages, the organ is located very high and there is no screen. Only music and no visualization
Калі Вы на бэйджыку экскурсавода ўбачыце надпіс Раманенкава Галіна Мікалаеўна, то лічыце, што Вам моцна пашанцавала: Вы атрымаеце задавальненне не толькі ад прафесіяналізму Галіны Раманаўны, але і ад яе чысцюткай беларускай мовы. Можаце таксама задаваць любыя свае пытанні па інтэр'еры сабора і экспанатах музея — Вы атрымаеце вычарпальны адказ.
Ну і, канешне, крыху зашчэміць у душы ад магчымасці дакрануцца да даўняга мінулага сваёй Радзімы...
The museum is located under the temple itself. The exposition is mainly focused on the exposed ancient brick pillars of the foundation and the artifacts found during their excavations. The exposition is small, but informative.
The museum and the concert hall are two in one. I've been to concerts several times - you can listen to music here forever. In addition, there are very highly qualified guides who answer any additional questions. There are many ancient rarities
A unique architectural monument, a vivid example of the transition from one time epoch to another. Amazing acoustics, thanks to which St. Sophia Cathedral can be called one of the best chamber concert halls in Europe.
A very beautiful place, the cathedral is amazing, you can listen to the music on the organ!!! Anyone who happens to be in Novopolotsk (Polotsk) must visit this place!!!
Beauty. We got to a concert of organ music. And the territory is beautiful

The museum is small but interesting
There is a great view of the river from the embankment nearby
If nearby, then you can go in, specially go, I do not recommend
A beautiful cathedral in the style of the Vilna Baroque. Although it was built in the 12th century according to other canons. The guide spoke in great detail about the stages of construction and reconstruction of the cathedral, about how the organ appeared. The organ music concert spoiled the impression a little, despite the New Year holidays, the repertoire was not appropriate. It's not the first time I've listened to the organ, but after this concert I didn't feel like coming back (and not only me)
A beautiful monumental building in a picturesque location: on the plateau of a high hill at the confluence of rivers, where a spring gushes from the middle of the hill. One thing confused me - the cathedral is decorated with a Masonic symbol (the eye). I think the guides can tell you about it, but we were in a hurry.
The cathedral is beautiful both inside and out. The exhibits are interesting, but there are very few of them, although the price is more expensive than in the Museum of local lore, where there are more exhibits.
A magnificent structure on the banks of the Western Dvina River. The first stone structure on the territory of Belarus.
The sound of an organ is something. Special attention should be paid to the basement. The whole history of the Cathedral is there.
St. Sophia Cathedral is one of the business cards of Polotsk. A universal monument of architecture, of course, it is better to visit on Sundays, when organ music concerts are requested.
