Saint Dimitry of Thessaloniki church, Eastern Orthodox church in Kolomyagi district, Saint Petersburg, Russia

Saint Dimitry of Thessaloniki church is a single-nave wooden church at the corner of 1st Nikitinskaya and Solunskaya streets in Kolomyagi, built in 1905–1906 to a design by Alexander Vseslavin. An octagonal drum with a row of kokoshniks carries three onion domes, and a bell tower with a spire rises over the porch.

The church began in 1899, when Metropolitan Anthony of St. Petersburg blessed Kolomyagi residents to collect donations to convert the Alexander Nevsky chapel into a church. Architect Alexander Vseslavin donated the design and oversaw construction; land came from Count A. F. Orlov-Denisov-Nikitin. Built in 1905–1906 on Steklyannaya Gorka, it was consecrated on 3 December 1906. It stayed open through the revolution and the Leningrad blockade.

The church keeps its pre-revolutionary name day: on 8 November 2006 it marked its centenary as one of Saint Petersburg's oldest wooden churches. Its patron, Saint Dimitry of Thessaloniki, is venerated as a protector of soldiers, so during the Leningrad blockade locals came here to pray for relatives at the front, as did pilots and BAO soldiers from the Komendantsky aerodrome.

The church stands at the corner of 1st Nikitinskaya and Solunskaya streets in Kolomyagi, not on Repishchnaya or Berezovaya. It is an active parish; services are held regularly, and the grounds also contain the Church of Saint Eugenia and a chapel of Alexander Nevsky. Visitors should dress modestly and avoid photographing during services.

The church holds relics of Saint Seraphim of Sarov, Saint Panteleimon, Patriarch Tikhon and Saint Pitirim of Tambov, besides particles of its patron's relics. Near the altar lies Protopriest Ioann Goremykin, rector from 1940 to 1950; General Govorov came to thank him for his son, who left a reserved engineering post for the front.
