The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, also known as the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, is one of the oldest Orthodox churches in Irkutsk. It served as a cathedral in 1929-1936 and 1948-1991. The building was constructed in the Siberian Baroque style.

“The virtuosity of the church’s decoration, with comparatively meager resources, is truly astonishing. By trimming and laying bricks both straight and obliquely, carving columns and balusters, and arranging intricately woven cornices, the architects achieved a striking effect, with brick patterns giving the impression of rich fabrics and intricately woven carpets.”
