伊尔库茨克喀山圣母大教堂（喀山圣母教堂）是俄罗斯东正教会位于伊尔库茨克的一座重要教堂。其历史可以追溯到19世纪末。最初，在教堂现址建立的是一座木制教堂，同样是为了纪念喀山圣母圣像。随着信徒人数的增加，木制教堂已经无法满足需求，于是决定建造一座更为宏伟的 каменный (kāmennyy，意为石制的) 教堂。
这座宏伟的砖石结构教堂于1885年开始建造，由建筑师 V. A. Kudelsky 设计。建造过程历时数年，并于1893年祝圣。喀山圣母大教堂以其独特的拜占庭式建筑风格而闻名，拥有引人注目的红色砖墙和象征天堂的蓝色圆顶，以及精美的装饰和壁画。
在苏联时期，如同许多宗教场所一样，喀山圣母大教堂也经历了艰难的时期。它曾被关闭，并被用作其他用途。然而，在苏联解体后，教堂得以修复并重新开放，恢复了其作为宗教场所的重要地位。
The Cathedral of the Theotokos of Kazan (Kazan Church) in Irkutsk is a significant church of the Russian Orthodox Church located in Irkutsk. Its history dates back to the late 19th century. Initially, a wooden church was erected on the site of the current cathedral, also dedicated to the icon of the Kazan Mother of God. As the number of parishioners grew, the wooden church became insufficient, leading to the decision to build a more magnificent каменный (kamennyy, meaning stone) church.
The construction of this grand brick structure began in 1885, designed by the architect V. A. Kudelsky. The construction process took several years, and the cathedral was consecrated in 1893. The Kazan Cathedral is renowned for its distinctive Byzantine architectural style, featuring striking red brick walls and blue domes symbolizing heaven, as well as exquisite decorations and frescoes.
During the Soviet era, like many religious sites, the Kazan Cathedral experienced a difficult period. It was closed and used for other purposes. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the cathedral was restored and reopened, regaining its important status as a place of worship.
