This work is devoted to the study of the golden section principle in the architecture of the Nizhny Novgorod region on the example of the Tsar's Pavilion of the Moscow railway Station, the Palace of Justice of the Avtozavodsky district and the Transfiguration Cathedral. The paper analyzes the proportions and shapes of the objects under study, and identifies «golden rectangles» in their elements. The results of the analysis confirm the hypothesis that the golden ratio principle was used by architects in the design of buildings to achieve harmony and aesthetic appeal.
