Ascension of Our Lord Chapel


The Ascension of Our Lord Chapel is a historic Russian Orthodox chapel in Karluk, Alaska. Now it is under Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America
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 contemporary Russian 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."
Its design was largely copied in the design of the Nativity of Our Lord Chapel in Ouzinkie, Alaska.
The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
