Catholic Temple of the Transfiguration of the Lord

The Catholic Church of the Transfiguration of Lord Tver can be seen in the center of the city, on Soviet Street. The architecture of the temple is very interesting - it is a combination of modernism and Gothic. The temple was restored in the nineties of the XX century. The fate of the temple was quite sad.

It was built in 1864, after the revolution was closed and ruined. The library is looted. In the temple there were various organizations far from religion, and in the seventies it was completely destroyed. In the early 90s, the construction of a new Catholic church began and continued until 2002.

The temple is built of red brick, the silhouette of the temple resembles a cross, the floor and throne in the temple are made of colored marble. Near the temple is a high bell tower. The ensemble of the temple includes a parish house, also built of wood and lined with the same brick as the temple.
