The Roman Catholic Church, the only Catholic church in Irkutsk, was built in 1758. It is very close to the Epiphany Cathedral (CathedralofttheEpiphany) and can be visited together after the visit. Most Russians believe in the Orthodox Church, and the Roman Catholic Church is a relatively rare building in the local area. It was built by Polish immigrants a hundred years ago and was built by the tsarist government for Polish political prisoners who were exiled here at that time. It belongs to the late Gothic architectural style. The wooden church was unfortunately destroyed by a fire in 1879, and a new stone church was rebuilt in its original location in 1884, which is the Roman Catholic church we can visit today. The Roman Catholic Church is located in the north of Kirov Square, by the Angara River. It is in a great location near the Irkutsk City Hall, the Municipal Square and the Arc de Triomphe. Take the bus to Kirov Square and walk there. Its appearance is a red brick Gothic building, tall and majestic, very imposing, tourists can take pictures, but the interior of the church is not open to the public.

The Roman Catholic Church in Irkusk is very different, because Russia is mostly Orthodox, and this is the only Catholic Church in Irkutsk. Her shape is also very characteristic, like a red rocket that is about to launch, erected there, very majestic and beautiful.
A very beautiful Catholic church, well, this is not Orthodox~ I went to the hotel and passed by, and I looked at it by the way. I am not religious, and I am not interested in it~ Hahaha I have seen more.
In Russia, where the Orthodox church is everywhere, this Roman Catholic is very unique in Irkutsk. It is a typical Gothic spire church, with red exterior walls and purple spires. The grass around the church is a good place for everyone to take a leisurely walk. Irkutsk is recommended for a walk.
In the early 19th century, exiled Poles built a wooden church here. The wooden church was unfortunately burned in 1879. Later, in 1884, a neo-stone church was rebuilt in its original location, the Roman Catholic Church we can visit today. (Note: This church is not open to the public.)
