The Cathedral of the Nativity of the Virgin is an Orthodox cathedral in the city of Hlybokaye, Vitebsk Region, Belarus. It is located in the historical center of the town on the 17th of September Square. It is the first monument and the most complete expression of the Vilnian Baroque school in Belarus, reflecting "important stages in the development of the artistic principles of the Belarusian Baroque". According to the researcher V. A. Chanturia, this cathedral is a rather peculiar type of religious architecture, because even in Europe temples with four towers of the Baroque period were very rare. Before the reconstruction in the 1730s, it was the only Sarmatian Baroque monument with a transept.
