Putilovskaya Church, Orthodox church in Kirovsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Putilovskaya Church is an Orthodox chapel in the Kirovsky District featuring Byzantine-influenced design and traditional Russian Orthodox architectural elements. The structure sits on Stachek Avenue and displays characteristic features from its early 20th century construction including domes and ornamental details.
The building was constructed in 1901 as a parish church serving the local community's religious needs. During the Soviet period from 1925 to 1991, it functioned as a cultural center before being restored to its religious purpose in the 1990s.
The church takes its name from the nearby Putilov Factory and reflects the bond between the local working community and their faith. Today visitors and parishioners gather here for regular services and religious observances.
The building is easily accessible by public transport in the Kirovskiy district and maintains an official website with service information. Visitors should note that this is an active place of worship, so appropriate dress and respectful behavior are expected.
The church was named after the nearby factory, which was a major industrial center of the city closely tied to the labor movement. This connection between sacred space and factory history opens a window into the working life of Saint Petersburg's past.
