Valga Holy Spirit Church
German: Walk
Valga's Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit on Maleva street was built of granite and red brick by railway workers from Lithuania and Poland and finished in 1907 in neo-Gothic style. The authorities refused permission for its tower, so it was never completed. The church worked until 1940; from 1945 it was a warehouse and later a gym. After an extension and remodelling in 1995 it again became a place of worship, with masses in Estonian and Russian.

Eesti keeles
Valga Maleva tänaval asuva Püha Vaimu katoliku kiriku ehitasid graniidist ja punastest tellistest Leedust ja Poolast pärit raudteetöölised ning see valmis 1907. aastal uusgooti stiilis. Võimud ei andnud luba torni ehitamiseks ja nii jäi see valmimata. Kirik tegutses 1940. aastani, 1945. aastast oli see ladu ja hiljem võimla. Pärast 1995. aasta juurdeehitust ja ümberehitust sai sellest taas pühakoda, kus peetakse missat eesti ja vene keeles.
