The Mother of God Church[1] (Russian: Церковь Пресвятой Богородицы) It is a Latin Catholic church, built in a Gothic Revival style, located in Vladivostok in the Far East of Russia.
The first Catholic parish in the Siberian Far East appeared during the reign of Alexander II in the city of Nikolaevsk Amur, newly founded in 1866.
The city was then the seat of the Czarist Governor General of the Russian Far East.
As the imperial (later Soviet) fleet moved to Vladivostok, the new port and fortress under construction attracted a number of people who came from all corners of the Empire, including Polish Catholics, Lithuanians etc.
The parish itself was erected on January 11, 1890, a few months before the start of the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway to Vladivostok from May 1891.
