Sacred Heart Cathedral, Gothic Revival cathedral in Yashnobod, Uzbekistan.
The Sacred Heart Cathedral is a Gothic Revival structure featuring pointed arches, carved stonework, and soaring towers in central Tashkent. These design elements define its appearance and give the building its distinctive character.
The building opened in 1912 and established itself as an important religious institution during a period of major social change across Central Asia. Its founding came during a time of deep regional transformation.
The cathedral houses a memorial space dedicated to Pope John Paul II and serves as a gathering place for Catholics in a predominantly Muslim region.
The building sits on Sadiq Asimov Street in Tashkent and welcomes visitors interested in viewing its architectural details. Regular services take place inside for those wishing to attend.
The building is known informally in the local community as the 'Polish Church' and received recognition as a tangible cultural heritage site of Uzbekistan. This name reflects the deep connection to the Polish community.
