TheAscension of Our Lord Chapel (Russian:Вознесение Часовни Господа нашего) is a historicRussian Orthodox chapel inKarluk, Alaska. Now it is underDiocese of Alaska of theOrthodox Church in America[2]
It is believed that an original church was built in Karluk in the 1700s. The current church was built in 1888, with design and building "attributed to one Charles Smith Hursh". Its architecture shared some with its contemporaryRussian Orthodox church at Belkofski, but has "a more fully realized design for a small church, embodying eclectic features of one main stream of R. O. rural church design."[3][4]
Its design was largely copied in the design of theNativity of Our Lord Chapel inOuzinkie, Alaska.
The church was listed on theNational Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
In 2021, the church was relocated from a bluff overlooking the river to prevent its destruction.[5][6]
