Located opposite side of eco park. There are no timings. I was there 5 times and most of the time it was closed. Inside it's very spacious with servings nuns. It has garden outside.

The architecture of the Catholic cathedral is very interesting, it's like a corner of the Gothic Middle Ages in the center of Central Asia, when you come you don't even expect to see it here. Moreover, the cathedral itself was built more than 100 years ago, although the building is already historical and is an architectural monument, but not at all from the Middle Ages. They told a very interesting story about the origin of this temple, that it was built before the revolution at the beginning of the 20th century, with private funds from Catholics living and trading here, and then prisoners of war, who were fed with funds from England, but in fact it was created specifically to shake the foundations of the state, and also served as a center of turmoil and unrest during the revolution and the civil war. As always, there was interference from outside the counterintelligence of hostile states, after that the temple was closed, in the early years of the formation of the USSR it did not function as a temple, and various organizations were located inside. It was only after the collapse of the USSR in the early 90s of the 20th century that it was transferred to the Roman Catholic Church and began to function as a temple again. The temple is located on a designated large area, with a park adjacent to it, which is tended, and stands on an elevation, so to get to the territory you first have to go down a long staircase, and then climb the same one to enter it. But thanks to this, the view is open from a convenient distance to take a picture. There are very few visitors in the temple and on the territory, only small groups of 2-4 people, and then all these are tourists, there are no parishioners, and workers are practically invisible, sitting alone at the entrance and not allowing those in shorts and short skirts, so keep in mind to get into the temple, otherwise they will not be allowed inside the cathedral. Well, no wonder, the cathedral is perceived more as a monument of interesting architecture in the center of Central Asia, rather than a place for believers, since there is practically no Catholic population in this part of the world)

A magnificent building...The territory is not small, well-maintained, there is a Playground ...
Inside it is both modest and tasteful, there are few parishioners, there are many foreigners.
Listening to an organ is certainly something alien, sometimes there are organ music concerts with singing, it's just bliss.
