Александровский костёл в Кирове

It was built in 1903 and is famous for its organ, although services are usually held not here, but in the parish building. In the 19th century, many Poles were exiled to Vyatka, and they turned to the emperor with a request to allow them to build their own church. The author of the project was the architect from Warsaw K. Wojciechowski, and the architect I. Charushin supervised the construction itself. The name “Alexandrovsky” was given to the temple in honor of the emperor who gave the go-ahead for its construction.
