Maltese Chapel, Catholic church in Saint Petersburg, Russia
The Maltese Chapel features circular vaults, rectangular walls, and an apse with columns aligned closely to the surrounding surfaces.
Paul I of Russia established the Maltese Chapel between 1798 and 1800 after Napoleon Bonaparte's occupation of Malta forced the Knights to seek refuge.
The chapel holds regular organ performances on instruments restored to their original position after being transferred to the Small Opera and Ballet Theater.
The Maltese Chapel maintains specific visiting hours for diplomatic staff, embassy personnel, and general visitors interested in exploring its architectural details.
The chapel contains the burial site of the Duke of Leuchtenberg, who served as the church guardian and was Emperor Nicholas I's son-in-law.
