Our Lady of Victory

We arrived just in time for the last tour of the day to the dungeon (basement) of the church. The kind guide showed us the jacks that are currently holding the church up, the foundation is sinking due to permafrost melting. The jacks are temporary solution and they fear they could only prevent the inevitable for so long. He gave us a round tour of the church afterwards, the regular one. Showing all the arts, the ceiling, the pillars and the stage. It’s a holy and peaceful place to be. Hope they can preserve it.

A MUST VISIT if you are visiting Inuvik. If you have time to partake in the 30 minute tour, it's helpful to understand the history.

Amazing architecture. This is one of only three churches that are shaped liked igloos.

What a lovely and unique design for a church in this wonderful little town of Inuvik! It's unfortunate I didn't have a chance to see the inside while here in November.

Happy to see its Igloo representation as a temple of worship. We learned about the making of the church and its current state in our detailed guided tour. Fortunately for us our tour was off the normal regular hours.

Great place to celebrate the holy mass of you are a catholic. But all are welcome. I believe it is the only catholic church in the town of inuvik. In the weekdays if you went yo the church in three evening before the holy mass, you get to participate in small tour of the church.

What an amazing visit to another wonder of the world.

Such a beautiful and iconic landmark of Inuvik. This church is very unique, as the structure resembles an igloo. Our Lady of Victory (aka "Igloo Church") possesses amazing acoustics that have attracted artists from around the world to perform at this venue. If you're wanting some more information on the history, architecture, and art found within the church, be sure to check out one of the tours throughout the week. The church has tours every second day of the week, their schedule is as follows: Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 6:30 pm and after church on Sunday at around noon. You won't want to miss out on seeing this beautiful building firsthand. A must-see when visiting Inuvik.
