Saint Michael Archangel church

Saint Michael Archangel church is a place of worship featuring symmetrical facades and a blend of Russian and Orthodox architectural elements. The building stands out with its distinctive Russian style set against the urban landscape of the city.

The building was founded in 1902 at the Russian cemetery and developed over decades into a complete church. State-funded renovations in the 1930s gave it its present form.

The church serves as a place of worship for the Orthodox Christian community in Dalian and shows the religious diversity of the city. Visitors can observe how Eastern Orthodox traditions have taken root within a Chinese setting.

The church is located in Liaoning and stands out easily due to its Russian architectural style in the urban area. Visitors should know that regular Orthodox services take place and appropriate behavior is expected.

The original chapel building was accessed by two different routes: a steep staircase from the church grounds and a wide level path from the cemetery area. This dual accessibility reflected the two roles the building originally served.
