Часовня Спаса Преображения на Братском воинском кладбище, Orthodox chapel at Military Memorial Cemetery in Moscow, Russia.
The Chapel of the Savior's Transfiguration at the Brotherhood Military Cemetery is a red brick structure topped with a tent-shaped roof and dome crowned by a cross. The interior houses icons, sacred relics, and memorial plaques dedicated to fallen military personnel.
The chapel was built in 1998 on the grounds of a World War I cemetery established in 1915 that had been demolished decades earlier. Its reconstruction restored a memorial space for fallen soldiers in Moscow.
The chapel serves as a place where visitors come to honor fallen soldiers and light candles in their memory. This personal ritual gives the space a reflective quality that visitors can experience during their visit.
The chapel holds regular memorial services throughout the week that visitors can attend. Check current timings before visiting to plan your experience appropriately.
Since 2015, the chapel houses the remains of a Grand Duke and his wife, linking it to Russian imperial history. This burial connects a memorial space for ordinary soldiers with the history of the royal family.
