Saints Peter and Paul Chapel, Orthodox chapel in Lipetsk, Russia
Saints Peter and Paul Chapel is a stone religious building in Lipetsk featuring traditional Russian Orthodox architectural style with decorative elements typical of the period. The structure has a square base and stands on Karl Marx Street in the city center.
The chapel was built in 1872 to mark the 200th anniversary of Peter the Great's birth. It was destroyed during the 1930s but was completely rebuilt between 2000 and 2002 using historical records and old photographs as guides.
The chapel serves as an active place of worship where the local community gathers for religious observance and prayer. It represents the spiritual role of the Orthodox church in the city's life today.
The chapel is located on Karl Marx Street and can be easily reached on foot. Visitors can come by during weekdays to view the building or attend the regular religious services held there.
The bricks from the original chapel were reused to build a power station after its demolition. This unexpected continuation of the building's materials is a reminder of how the place's history remained connected across decades in different forms.
