St. Nicholas' Church, Luga, Gothic Revival church in Luga, Russia.

The brick structure displays pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses that emphasize the vertical lines of traditional Gothic architecture.

The Catholic church opened in 1904 to serve 500 railway workers, but closed in 1937 during Stalinist repressions when numerous parish members faced execution.

The building represents a period of religious resurgence in Russia, combining medieval European architectural elements with local construction traditions.

The church functions as an active Catholic parish within the Northwest Deanery of the Latin Archdiocese of Moscow following its restoration in 1996.

The structure, designed by architect Dietrich, transformed from a place of worship to a gymnasium during Soviet times before returning to religious service.
