Sts. Peter and Paul Church, Baroque church in Starocherkasskaya, Russia.
The cathedral features three aisles separated by faux marble piers with gilded Corinthian capitals, creating intricate spaces within the stone walls.
Built in 1751, the church represented Peter the Great's presence in regions contested during the Great Northern War between Russia and Sweden.
The cathedral's icon screen designed by Ivan Zarudnyi displays woodcarving skills adapted to religious themes and Peter the Great's victories.
The church underwent renovations in 1784, adding neoclassical details and white plank siding to enhance its structural elements.
A lightning strike in 1924 caused damage to the structure, yet the 112-meter spire remains a central architectural element with a carillon clock.
