Lutheran Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul
Lutheran Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Lutheran church in Tsentralny District, Russia
The Lutheran Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul displays Neoclassical architecture with grand columns and detailed ornamentation on Nevsky Prospekt.
Emperor Peter II allocated land to the German Lutheran community in 1728, leading to the construction of the initial wooden structure in 1730.
The church maintains both Russian and German language services, reflecting its historical connection to Saint Petersburg's German-speaking community.
The building accommodates 1500 worshippers and includes the Theological Seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Russia within its premises.
During the Soviet period, authorities converted the religious building into a swimming pool, causing substantial damage to its artistic heritage.
