Small Church of Winter Palace, Orthodox chapel in Winter Palace, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Small Church features gilded stucco walls, Corinthian columns, and religious iconography within the residential section of the Winter Palace complex.
The church, completed in 1768, served as a private worship space for the Russian Imperial family until the revolution of 1917.
The interior displays an extensive collection of Orthodox church vestments dating from the 17th through early 20th centuries.
Visitors can access the Small Church as part of the State Hermitage Museum tour, which requires advance ticket purchase.
The church maintained its original religious elements while the larger Grand Church of Winter Palace transformed into an exhibition hall in 1918.
