'The Ark' Church, Postmodern church building in Pontonny, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Ark Church features three prominent architectural extensions that rise from its main structure, creating a modern interpretation of religious architecture.
Initially built as a museum for the Ust-Izhora Plywood Factory, the building underwent transformation in 1994 when a religious organization acquired the incomplete structure.
The church serves the local Pentecostal community in Saint Petersburg, offering regular services and spiritual gatherings throughout the week.
Visitors can locate the church at coordinates 59° 47′ 11″ N and 30° 37′ 09.98″ E, with public transportation options available from central Saint Petersburg.
Architects Bencion Fabricky and Igor Shmelev converted the former industrial museum into a religious space while maintaining its original structural elements.
