Our Lady of the Joy of All Who Sorrow church, Orthodox church in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The building features a neoclassical design with symmetrical proportions, white columns, and a central dome rising above the main sanctuary space.

The religious structure, established in 1818, received recognition as a federal cultural heritage site due to its architectural and religious importance.

The church holds daily services following Russian Orthodox traditions, with choral performances during liturgical celebrations throughout the calendar year.

Visitors can access the church through public transportation, with several bus lines stopping near the building on Shpalernaya Street.

During an 1888 lightning strike, the church's revered icon remained intact while twelve copper coins from a donation box merged with its surface.
