👍👍 Church of the Holiest Assumption of Virgin Mary the Mother of God at Vasiliyevsky Island. First church was founded here in 1721. Present Church was built in 1895-1897 by Russian Architect Vasily Kosyakov (1862-1921). First time communists tried to close this church in 1932 but failed. Church was clo...

Baroque & neoclassical 18th-century cathedral frequented by Dostoevsky, with 5 domes & belfry views.

Majestic Eastern Orthodox church in a park, with ornate wooden architecture & clustered onion domes.

👍👍 Romanov family resting place in St Catherine Chapel St Petersburg, Russia Utterly breathtaking interior, extremely moving given the nature of the family's death. May the nation never ever forget what they did to them. RIP Most definitely a place to visit.

👍👍 This temple is associated with my homeland. Throughout my childhood and youth I lived and studied 150 meters from him. During my pioneer childhood, while walking next to my dog, I dreamed of how it could be repaired. And suddenly, the country began to change, perestroika, freedom of speech and... so...

👍👍 Очень красивый собор. Он первое, на чем останавливается взгляд, после выхода из ж.д. вокзала. Поэтому не удивительно, что ноги сами ведут к нему, и хоть путь весьма недолог, успеваешь получить какую-то неудовлетворённость от увиденного вокруг. История собора, наводит на мысль, что созданное на века...

👍👍 The Church of the Holy Righteous Simeon the God-Receiver and Anna the Prophetess is an active temple of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. Architectural monument.

👍👍 It is a pity that some people who are not very fond of the history of the city want to see a children’s playground at the burial site of Lenin City residents during the siege. The temple in this place is symbolic; it calms the souls of the people to whom we owe our peaceful life today. Learn history...

👍👍 I bought it for my beloved angel. The temple is beautiful, clean and tidy. God bless you all.

👍👍 Small cozy church, I really liked the priest, such a bright and believing person!

👍👍 Църквата е изключително красива. Входът за чужденци струва 500 рубли. През 18 век архитектът Растрели превръща страничните крила на Големия дворец в отделни сгради - едната е Църквата. В тази църква на 11 август 1904 г. е кръстен последният наследник на руския престол Алексей Николаевич. До 1941 г....

👍👍 The place is very pleasant and unique in its own way! Firstly, a luxurious complex of wooden architecture. Secondly, a huge park. Thirdly, a functioning church. There is parking, it is free. There is a toilet, clean and pleasant, a small donation for entry. It has a cafe with delicious monastery kv...

😐 In my opinion this is one of the best churches. I like the color of the temple. It is not clear why, and who was buried right next to the church??? Were they ordinary people or with a certain history??? And the most interesting question: Why do modern lamps burn in the place of the main cross? Where...

👍👍 Очень понравилось это место, несмотря на наличие высотных жилых домов , которые расположились рядом с храмом, нет абсолютно ни какой суеты и стоя у храма нет ощущения , что ты находишся в городской черте. Вобщем все аккуратно , чисто и на достойном уровне.
