The Holy Resurrection Church (Russian: Свято-Воскресенская Церковь) is a historic Russian Orthodox church located at the corner of Mission Road and Kashevaroff Avenue in Kodiak, Alaska. It is now part of the Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America.[1]
It was built in 1945 as a replacement to a previous building that burnt in 1943. The Russian Orthodox presence in Kodiak dates from 1794, not long after the settlement's founding. The current church is about 70x in plan dimensions.[2]
The church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. The listing also includes a detached bell tower which is believed to be 19th century in construction.[2]
