Cathedral of Divine Providence - Chișinău

  • Chişinău

The Roman Catholic community in Chisinau, consisting primarily of Polish individuals, was formed in the late 1830s. Ten years later, in 1840, utilizing their own financial contributions, the community constructed a sacred place. The church project received approval in St Petersburg, with architect and sculptor Joseph I Charlemand playing a significant role in its neoclassical design, influenced by Italian Renaissance architecture. This religious building, known as the Cathedral of Divine Providence (Romanian: Catedrala Romano-Catolică Providența Divină), is affiliated with the Catholic Church and is located in Chișinău, Moldova. It serves as the seat of the Diocese of Chișinău. Initially built in 1836 by architect Avraam Melnikov, thanks to grants from Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, the church adopted a neoclassical style. However, with the arrival of Soviet power in 1944, all parish activities ceased. In 1963, the church was closed, and the faithful were compelled to use a small chapel in the cemetery. It was only in 1989 that the building was returned to the parish. Since 1993, the church has been the host of the Apostolic Administration of Moldova and, since 2001, the newly established Diocese of Chișinău. At present, it is estimated that there are approximately 20,000 Catholics in Moldova.
