Fountain of Voronikhin Garden, Fountain in Voronikhin Garden at Kazan Cathedral, Saint Petersburg, Russia

The fountain stands in the center of a small garden surrounded by granite columns and marble elements of the Kazan Cathedral complex.

The fountain was installed in 1809 as part of the Kazan Cathedral construction project, led by architect Andrei Voronikhin between 1801 and 1811.

The fountain area serves as a gathering place where visitors observe religious ceremonies and cultural events held at Kazan Cathedral throughout the year.

Located on Nevsky Prospekt, the fountain provides a resting spot with benches and shade trees during summer months for cathedral visitors.

The fountain remains one of few preserved examples of early 19th-century Russian garden architecture within an Orthodox cathedral complex.
