St. Mary Church in Samarkand, Catholic church in Samarkand, Uzbekistan
The church building exhibits a Neo-Gothic architectural design, featuring traditional elements and standing at Mahmud Qoshgʻariy street in central Samarkand.
In 1903, Polish and German merchants established the church, which authorities closed in 1930 during the Soviet era and converted into a school.
The Catholic community regained control of the building in 1995, leading to extensive renovations before its rededication ceremony in March 1999.
Two brothers from a Polish Franciscan monastery assist Father Luciano Szymanski in conducting regular religious services and maintaining the church facilities.
The church serves as the primary Catholic gathering place in Samarkand, connecting with the Apostolic Administration of Uzbekistan based in Tashkent.
