Dundee, 34-36 Forebank Road, St Mary, Our Lady Of Victories Rc Church, Roman Catholic church in Forebank Road, Dundee, Scotland.
Our Lady of Victories is a Catholic church on Forebank Road featuring Romanesque Revival architecture with two prominent towers and a entrance area added in 1901. The interior contains multiple side chapels that were integrated into the structure in 1926 to expand its prayer spaces.
Construction of this church began in 1850 under architect George Mathewson, with the building opening to worshippers in 1851. It later earned status as a Category B listed building, reflecting its architectural and historic value.
This church has served as a gathering place for Dundee's Catholic community since its opening, where visitors encounter a space dedicated to worship and prayer. The interior layout with its multiple side chapels reflects how the building was thoughtfully adapted to accommodate different forms of devotion over time.
The church sits on Forebank Road and is easily accessible to visitors seeking a quiet place for reflection. Anyone planning to attend services or view the building should note that regular worship takes place, and the doors remain open to both worshippers and those interested in its architecture.
Architect Reginald Fairlie directed changes in 1926 that added multiple side chapels, transforming the church's interior layout to serve the community's evolving needs. This redesign shows how the original 19th century building was successfully adapted without losing its architectural character.
