Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church, Eastern Orthodox church on Petrograd Street in Berlin, New Hampshire.
The Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church is a church building on Petrograd Street in Berlin, New Hampshire, distinguished by six distinctive onion domes. The structure measures approximately 36 feet (11 meters) wide and 63 feet (19 meters) deep, reaching about 100 feet (30 meters) in height at the peak.
Russian immigrants from Belarus and Ukraine built this religious structure in 1915, completing the entire construction within five months. This rapid completion shows how strongly the community was determined to create a center for their religious practice.
The church reflects the traditions of Eastern European communities who settled in the area and built this place to practice their faith. The design and decoration inside show how these immigrants kept their religious identity alive.
The best way to admire the building is to walk around it and view the onion domes from different angles. For visits inside, check ahead about access times and wear respectful clothing when entering.
During renovation work in 2003, workers discovered authentic relics of Saint Nicholas hidden within the altar area. These precious finds were then placed into an icon dedicated to the saint and have since become part of the worship tradition.
