Erlanger crypt, Neoclassical mausoleum in Lefortovo District, Russia
The Erlanger crypt features pure white marble walls, geometric columns, and a monumental entrance adorned with intricate stone carvings and metalwork details.
Built in 1914 by architect Fyodor Schechtel, this mausoleum was commissioned for Anton Erlanger, a prominent Russian flour mill industrialist of German descent.
The interior chapel contains a remarkable mosaic titled 'Christ the Sower' created by artist Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin and executed in Vladimir Frolov's workshop.
Located within Vvedenskoye Cemetery, the mausoleum now functions as an Orthodox chapel where memorial services take place regularly throughout the year.
Tamara Kronkoyans dedicated 12 years to restoring this monument, selling her apartment to fund the reconstruction of the collapsed chapel in the 1990s.
