St. Iver Church

圣伊维尔教堂

An Orthodox church ruin hidden in a residential neighborhood. Its weathered walls and onion dome have a strong sense of age, making it a favorite for photography.

St. Iver Church was built in 1908 as a garrison chapel for the Russian army. It stands in a residential area north of Hongjun Street in Daoli District. The church was left vacant for a long time. Its exterior walls are mottled and its top is damaged, but it has kept its simple Byzantine form, making it a hidden gem for Harbin photography enthusiasts. The interior is not open to the public, so photos can only be taken from outside. Admission is free. The surrounding roads are narrow, so walking is recommended. Please take care not to disturb residents.
