Saint Nicholas Church

Saint Nicholas Church is a Lutheran place of worship built in the classical style, standing on Prospekt 25 Oktyabrya in Gatchina. The building displays balanced proportions and clean lines characteristic of early 19th-century architecture.

Architect Aleksey Baykov designed and built this church between 1825 and 1828, following the classical principles of his era. The building was later recognized as a cultural monument of national importance and placed under protection.

The church served as a spiritual center for Lutheran families in Gatchina and continues to hold this role today. Visitors can sense how this place remains connected to the religious identity of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria community.

The building is located on Prospekt 25 Oktyabrya in central Gatchina and is easily accessible on foot. The spot sits near other historical sites, making it possible to visit several places in one outing.

The church received federal cultural monument status through a presidential decree in 1995. This recognition ensures the building remains carefully preserved so future generations can experience it.
