Russian Orthodox church of Saint Job, Russian Orthodox church in Uccle, Belgium

The Russian Orthodox church of Saint Job is a white-painted brick building in Uccle with a stepped roofline of stacked semicircular arches rising to a narrow drum and a dark onion-shaped cupola with a gold cross. Its facade has a central arched doorway, round and rectangular windows, and a circular window with a star pattern. A smaller chapel-like structure with a steep pyramidal roof and cross stands to the right, behind a low white wall with green fencing.

In 1928 Nikolai Kotliarevsky, former secretary of General Wrangel, proposed a memorial church to Tsar Nicholas II and the victims of Bolshevism. A committee formed in 1929 under Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna; donations reached 1.2 million Belgian francs. The foundation stone was laid on 2 February 1936 by Metropolitans Anastasius and Dositheus, and after wartime interruption the church was consecrated on 1 October 1950.

The church keeps a parish bulletin, "The Voice of Our Church", runs a children's parish school and a sisterhood that grew out of the Saints Martha and Mary circle. The seven bells in the hipped bell tower of the church house were cast in Leuven; the largest, weighing one tonne, is named "Tsarevich".

The church is located on Avenue De Fré in Uccle and welcomes visitors during its service times. It is helpful to check opening hours beforehand and be aware of respectful conduct guidelines when entering this active place of worship.

The church is dedicated to Saint Job the Much-Suffering of the Old Testament, not to Patriarch Job of Moscow. It was conceived in 1928 by Nikolai Kotlyarevsky, former secretary of General Wrangel, as a memorial to Tsar Nicholas II and those killed by the Bolsheviks. A relic found at Ganina Yama, possibly a finger of Nicholas II, is walled into one of its walls.
