Église Saint-Serge et Saint-Vigor de Colombelles, Orthodox church in Colombelles, France

This wooden church features architecture influenced by Saint Petersburg religious buildings, with a copper onion dome topped by an Orthodox cross.

Russian workers from the Normandy Metallurgical Company built this church in 1926, partially funded by their employer following a Russian colonel's plans.

Painters Fostov and Khvostov created the interior icons of the church, which includes a Russian literature library within its grounds.

Religious services take place every Sunday at 10:30 AM and Saturday evening at 6:00 PM, with liturgy in French using traditional Russian melodies.

This church stands as the only Orthodox religious building in western France, registered as a historical monument since 1992.
