The Church of the Holy Cross, also known as Christovi Church, was built in the mid-18th century and is a very long-standing church in Irkutsk. It is located on the east side of Lenin Street, take tram 1 and 2 to Филармония stop and you can walk there. The exterior of the Church of the Holy Cross is colorful, and the orange, blue and green colors are very bold and avant-garde in the church building. Due to the location on a small plateau and the surrounding trees, it was difficult to take a panoramic view. One of the features of the building is the integration of Buddhist architectural ideas, with some multi-story tower structures, and the other is that the decorative patterns on the front are very delicate, which are commonly used in local Buryat handicrafts. You can visit the oil paintings in the church and feel the atmosphere of art and religion. There are some colorful glass on the second floor, as well as some small shops selling the surrounding area, you can buy some as a souvenir for your relatives and friends.

Its architectural style combines eastern Buddhist architecture with Western classical architecture.

Several cities have churches with this name. Irkutsk's church is located in Lenin Street. It's very conspicuous. Its red, green and white appearance is very unique, because it's very beautiful to add green around a hillside.
