Троицкая церковь, Russian Orthodox church on Nikolaevskaya Street, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Trinity Church was a church building on Nikolaevskaya Street in Saint Petersburg with red and white brick construction. Its facade displayed numerous mosaic icons and traditional Orthodox architectural elements.
The building was constructed between 1890 and 1893 under architect Nikolay Nikonov's direction in Russian Revival style. It was demolished in 1966 to make room for new urban development.
The church served as a gathering place for the Society for Religious and Moral Education and its members. It held meaning for local believers as a neighborhood landmark where Orthodox faith was practiced.
The site underwent several transformations after demolition and later housed public baths. Today a commercial center operates on the location, established in 2007.
Father John of Kronstadt delivered a speech during the consecration ceremony, marking the building's opening. This connection to a notable religious figure gave the place additional meaning.
