Church of the Theotokos of Smolensk
Church of the Theotokos of Smolensk, Orthodox church in Vasileostrovsky District, Russia
The Church of the Theotokos of Smolensk displays neoclassical architecture with a white brick exterior and multiple domes atop its structure.
Construction of the church began in 1758 as a wooden structure, later replaced by a stone building between 1786 and 1790 under architect Alexei Ivanov.
The church maintains its position as a federal cultural heritage site within Russia, preserving traditional Orthodox religious practices and architectural elements.
Located at 24 Kamskaya Street in Saint Petersburg, the church functions as an active Orthodox place of worship within the Smolenskoye Orthodox Cemetery.
Saint Xenia of Petersburg contributed to the construction by secretly carrying bricks to the scaffolding during nighttime hours.
