Church of Simeon and Anna, Orthodox church in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Church of Simeon and Anna stands on Mokhovaya Street with a yellow and white exterior, featuring a soaring spire and polygonal cupola.
The original wooden structure, commissioned by Peter the Great in 1714, was later replaced with a stone church under Empress Anna Ionnovna's reign in 1731.
The church represents early Russian Orthodox architecture, with its Petrine Baroque design created by Mikhail Zemtsov, Russia's first native professional architect.
Located at 48 Mokhovaya Street near Gostiny Dvor metro station, the church welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
During the Soviet period, the building served as a warehouse and meteorological museum before returning to religious service in the 1990s.
