The Church of Our Lady of the Assumption stands as a rare example of Gothic Revival architecture in Siberia, its red brick façade and pointed spires rising dramatically above Irkutsk’s skyline. Built in the 1880s by Polish political exiles, the church served the city’s Catholic community through turbulent times. Inside, visitors find a serene nave with stained-glass windows and a small museum recounting the history of Polish settlers. The adjacent garden offers a quiet retreat from the bustling streets.
