Our Lady of the Hour Church

Mosul, Iraq

The Our Lady of the Hour Church (Église Notre-Dame de l'Heure) also known as the name of the Latin Church, is a Catholic church in the centre of Mosul, in northern Iraq. Built in the 1870s by the Dominican Fathers, it was especially famous for its bell donated by the Empress Eugenia de Montijo, for which it was sometimes called the Clock Church. It was damaged in a 2006 bombing and completely restored in 2023.
