Polish Catholic Church

It is a story of another beautiful monument of Tashkent city. The idea of the construction of the Polish church dates back to 1875, as the new city had at that time a rather large number of Catholics. But, as always, the case moved from place only in 1902, when a representative of the Roman Catholic Church of Tashkent was appointed Master of Theology Justin Pranaitis.

–

Bought from a certain widow Mariam Bibi Narbaeva small plot of land in 1905 a priest built a small building so-called old church, which is often called the "House of the Polish society." It housed not only the chapel, but also an orphanage, school, apartment prior.

–

Externally, it was an ordinary two-storey house, which was different from the others only in the Catholic cross dormer loft.

–

Church had a three-nave hall and a height of 25 meters with dimensions of 42 by 32 meters. The front facade was to be decorated with stained glass as a Catholic, rose, lancet windows and twenty-three sculptures depicting Catholic saints.

–

Construction was started before the beginning of the First World War - in 1914 and progressed slowly. To expedite the work at the request of Kurata group of Catholics was delivered from the front to Turkestan.

–

There were used construction methods that strengthen the seismic resistance of the building - the so-called flying buttresses that also served as decoration.

–

Construction of the church was almost over, when in February 1917 Justin Pranaitis died. Persons, who replaced the late Kurator, could not continue his work in the same spirit.

–

Many decorative ornaments was hit, statues was disappeared, numerous temporary owners trying to rebuild the building. At one time it housed even medical school. Only in 1981 began restoration, parlayed a middle-aged (Human standards) in a great church organ hall. Near the main entrance to the building there is a monument to the Polish Soldiers Army Gen. Now held in the premises of the church beautiful organ and choral concerts, Christmas meetings and Catholic services.

–

Simple, with an inconspicuous, but majestic building is decorated with street Musakhanova (now Taraqqiyot Street) and Salar ancient embankment, being another unique attraction of our city.
