[摘要] The article deals with the architecture of the first Russian Orthodox churches in the state of California that were formed with the appearance of Russian settlements on the North American continent at the end of the 18th century. We consider the examples of constructing the churches in California in the 19th century; both volumetric and spatial solutions that are traditional for Russian Orthodox architecture, and peculiarities of forms and elements that reflect the interaction of different cultures, are seen. The work describes the history of the construction and architectural features of the first Russian settlement in California - Fort Ross, the chapel of St. Trinity, which is located on its territory, as well as features of the cathedral of St. Trinity in San Francisco.
