Valga orthodox church
German: Walk
Valga's Orthodox cathedral of St Isidore on Pargi street, designed by Vladimir Lunski, was built in 1897–1898 for the town's Russian and Latvian Orthodox believers. When the church of St Nicholas used by Estonian Orthodox burned down in 1913, the Estonian congregation moved in too, and in 1923 it became a cathedral. It is named after Isidore, the priest-martyr of Tartu. In 1993 the congregation split, and the Russian-speaking part left and turned the former Valga railway workers' club into its own church.

Eesti keeles
Valga Pargi tänaval asuv Issidori õigeusu peakirik ehitati Vladimir Lunski projekti järgi aastatel 1897–1898 linna vene ja läti õigeusklikele. Kui eesti õigeusklike kasutuses olnud Püha Nikolai kirik 1913. aastal maha põles, hakkas ka eesti kogudus siin käima ja 1923. aastal sai kirik peakiriku staatuse. See kannab Tartu preestermärtri Issidori nime. 1993. aastal kogudus lõhenes ning venekeelne osa lahkus ja ehitas endise Valga raudteelaste klubi oma kirikuks.
