Immaculate Conception Church, Perm

In the years following the formation of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the first partition of Poland in the eighteenth century, a significant number of Catholics went to populate the vast lands around the Urals. Many came to Perm in Siberia. Later, after the many Polish uprisings in the nineteenth century, thousands of Poles were sent to Siberia and the Urals.

Since 1837 there was a small Catholic parish in Perm, which was then a large village. The Catholic community was 1,800 people in 1869. The faithful erected a new church, which was built between 1873 and 1875, in a pseudo-Gothic style.
