Harbin Saint Sophia Church

In 1903 AD, with the completion and opening of the Middle East Railway, the Fourth Infantry Division of Tsarist Russia’s Eastern Siberia also invaded Harbin. In order to stabilize the morale of the soldiers who were far away from home, Tsarist Russia broke ground to build the Hagia Sophia in 1907. A church with an all-wood structure was completed that year and served as the chapel for the infantry division. On September 27, 1923, the second foundation laying ceremony for the reconstruction of Hagia Sophia was held. After nine years of meticulous construction, a magnificent, elegant and extraordinary architectural masterpiece was completed.
