Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, Irkutsk
Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, Irkutsk, Gothic Revival church building in Irkutsk, Russia.
The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption features a brick structure with distinct Western architectural elements and a dome that differs from Orthodox churches.
The current church replaced a wooden structure destroyed in the 1879 fire, with construction completed between 1881 and 1883 by Polish settlers in Irkutsk.
Polish architect Jan Tamulewicz designed the building while Wojciech Koperski directed the interior decorations, incorporating elements of Polish religious traditions.
The church functions as both a Catholic worship center and concert venue, hosting daily religious services after organ performances by the Irkutsk Philharmonic.
The altarpiece from 1868 and an American harmonium from 1896 remain preserved within the church, representing different periods of its architectural development.
