Around Qiulin Company & Church of St. Sophia (Sheng Suofeiya Jiaotang) The brick spires and green dome of the Church of St. Sophia rising out of the chaos east of Zhongyang Dajie are the divine reminders of a more inspired age in architecture. Erected in 1907 and rebuilt several times, the church took its current form in 1932. The handiwork is still visible on the vaulted ceilings and painted chambers, despite near-destruction by the Red Guards in the 1960s and a restoration in 1996. The church is now home to the Harbin Architecture Arts Center. An exhibition inside contains photos of other churches, old newspaper clippings, and an interesting scale model of Nangang District in the 1920s. The rear cloister, used for storage prior to 2002, now contains a small but interesting collection of religious objects. The church's incongruous beauty is enhanced by dozens of white pigeons (kept in place with the promise of free food from feeders in the surrounding square). Pocket-size guides to old Harbin, with color photos and bilingual introductions to several buildings, are sold inside. 哈尔滨秋林公司附近和哈尔滨圣索菲亚教堂哈尔滨秋林公司是一个历史悠久、驰名中外的老字号企业，创建于1900年，先后由沙俄资本家、英国汇丰银行、日本商人、和前苏联政府经营，1953年10月有偿移交我国。秋林接收经营后，为适应市场经济需求，满足人民生活，先后进行了4次扩建改造，现已发展成为一个以商业为主的集团化、现代化大型商业零售企业，黑龙江省唯一一家商业上市公司。秋林集团地处哈市繁花商业中心，拥有秋林公司（老楼）和秋林时代购物广场两大商场，总经营面积8万平方米，隶属公司有秋林食品厂、秋林糖果厂、经济贸易公司、广告公司等。哈尔滨圣索菲亚教堂，是远东地区最大的东正教堂，通高53.35米，占地面积721平方米，是拜占庭式建筑的典型代表。1986年列为市级一类保护建筑；96年11月，列为全国重点文物保护单位；97年6月，圣索菲亚教堂修复并更名为哈尔滨市建筑艺术馆。圣索菲亚教堂巍峨壮美，具有浓郁的异国情调，成为哈尔滨市一道独具特色的风景线；她历尽风雨，饱经风霜，是沙俄入侵东北的历史见证和重要遗迹。　公元1903年，随着中东铁路建成通车，沙俄军队也侵入了哈尔滨。为了稳定远离家乡士兵的军心，1907年，圣索非亚教堂破土动工，当年落成。1923年9月27日，圣索非亚教堂举行了第二次重建奠基典礼，一座富丽堂皇，典雅超俗的建筑精品竣工落成。圣索菲亚教堂气势恢弘，精美绝伦。教堂平面设计为东西向拉丁十字，墙体全部采用清水红砖，上冠为巨大饱满的洋葱头穹顶，统率着四翼大小不同的帐篷顶，形成主从式的布局。四个楼层之间有楼梯相连，前后左右有四个门出入。正门顶部为钟楼，7座响铜铸制的乐钟恰好是7个音符，由训练有素的敲钟人手脚并用，敲打出抑扬顿挫的钟声。
