Rēzekne Sacred Heart of Jesus Roman Catholic Cathedral, Gothic Revival cathedral in Rēzekne, Latvia

The red brick cathedral features two symmetrical towers and five oak altars with sculptures representing religious figures including the Virgin Mary and Saint Teresa.

After a wooden church burned down in 1887, construction of the current cathedral began in 1888 under the direction of engineer F. Viganovsky from Riga.

The cathedral contains three historical feretrons from the 18th century, with one in Baroque style and two in neo-Rococo style decorative elements.

The Sacred Heart Cathedral welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 to 19:00 at Latgales iela 88B, serving as the center of Rēzekne-Aglona diocese.

The stained glass windows in the main altar depict the first bishops of Livonia, including Saint Maynard and Saint Albert, preserving regional religious history.
