Saint Trifon Church on the stone in the lake Peipus

The Saint Trifon Church stands 9 meters tall on a stone foundation in Lake Peipus, constructed with a combination of wood, iron, and stone materials.

The church, inaugurated in May 2013, marks the location near where the Battle of the Ice between the Novgorod Republic and Teutonic Knights took place.

The chapel honors Saint Trifon, a 3rd-century Christian saint from Phrygia, who is recognized for his healing abilities and protection of agricultural lands.

Located at coordinates 58.298046 latitude and 27.646379 longitude in the Gdovsky District, the church serves as both a religious site and memorial landmark.

The structure rises directly from a stone base within Lake Peipus, creating a physical connection between land and water in this border region of Russia.
