St. Mary's in the Mountains Catholic Church, Catholic church in Virginia City, Nevada.
The Gothic Revival stone church features soaring arches, stained glass windows, and a bell tower that rises above Virginia City's historic district.
Built in 1876 following the Great Fire of 1875, the church replaced earlier structures dating back to 1860 during the Comstock silver mining period.
The church museum displays religious artifacts and exhibits that document the influence of Irish immigrant miners on the development of Virginia City.
St. Mary's in the Mountains holds Sunday Mass at 11:30 AM and includes a museum section that visitors can explore at 111 South E Street.
The church houses an 1898 William Schuelke pipe organ, relocated from Wisconsin, with a separate miniature keyboard controlling the chimes.
