Most Holy Mother of God Catholic Church

The red brick church features pointed arches, two spires, and lancet windows adorned with stained glass on Volodarsky Street in central Vladivostok.

The original wooden church from 1885 burned down in 1902, leading to the construction of the current stone structure between 1909 and 1921.

The church represents the religious heritage of Polish and Lithuanian Catholics who settled in Vladivostok during the late nineteenth century imperial period.

The cathedral holds regular mass services and organ concerts, with the instrument positioned near the altar for optimal acoustics throughout the hall.

From 1935 to the early 1990s, Soviet authorities transformed the church into a city archive, dividing the prayer hall into multiple levels.
