Троицкая церковь, Orthodox church at Smolenskoye Cemetery, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Trinity Church was a classical building at Smolenskoye Cemetery featuring a doric portico and wooden dome topped with a gilded bronze cross. The structure displayed typical neoclassical proportions and served as a focal point within the cemetery grounds.
The church was built between 1829 and 1831 under architect Vasily Kulchenkov, replacing a wooden structure destroyed during the 1824 flood. Its construction was part of efforts to rebuild the city following this natural disaster.
The church contained three altars dedicated to the Holy Trinity, Michael the Archangel, and Saints Sergius and Bacchus.
The building was demolished in 1932 and approximately 70,000 of its bricks were reused for residential construction in Leningrad. A small memorial chapel now marks the site where the original structure once stood.
A memorial chapel marks the location of the former main altar since 2001, commemorating the historical church structure.
