Saint Isidor's Church, Orthodox church building on Lermontovski Prospekt, Saint Petersburg, Russia

The five-domed church exhibits Russian Revival and Russian-Byzantine architectural styles with intricate patterns and traditional religious motifs throughout its exterior walls.

Emperor Nicholas II donated the land for this church in 1903, leading to its construction and consecration in 1907 for the Brotherhood of Saint Isidor.

The church held services in Estonian on the main floor and Russian on the first floor, serving as a center for Estonian Orthodox life until 1935.

Visitors can reach the church by walking 15 minutes from Sadovaya metro station, following the Griboedov Canal Embankment to the bridge location.

After its closure in 1935, the building transformed into an Art Factory that produced banners and posters for Soviet Union leaders during celebrations.
