Apparently there is a German cathedral in a very unexpected location – North Caucasus, Vladikavkaz. Was built in late IXX century.

The request to build the aforementioned cathedral was made by around 600 Germans that lived in the area. Even though it was built earlier it was first used for the service as late as 1911. During the Soviet era it was remade to be a library. Nowadays it’s a philharmonic (concert hall for classic music) and the only gothic building around.

Credit to the anonymous guy who took pictures. Except for the one that was taken in a previous century.
