Paraskeva Pyatnitsa Chapel
Paraskeva Pyatnitsa Chapel, Orthodox chapel on Karaulnaya Hill, Krasnoyarsk, Russia
Paraskeva Pyatnitsa Chapel is an octagonal stone structure standing on Karaulnaya Hill with a height of 22 meters. The building displays classical Orthodox architectural elements with ornate decorative details and a distinctive cupola.
The chapel was built between 1852 and 1855 by architects Yakov Alfeev and Yakov Nabalov. It replaced an earlier wooden structure that was funded by merchant Novikov in 1805.
The chapel is dedicated to Saint Paraskeva Pyatnitsa, a venerated Orthodox figure connected to Friday and the protection of women. Visitors notice this religious significance through the prayers and candles people leave at the site.
An observation platform surrounding the chapel offers wide views of central Krasnoyarsk. The site is accessible during daytime hours and is ideal for visitors wanting to see the city from above.
The chapel appears on the reverse side of the Russian 10-ruble banknote, making it a nationally recognized architectural monument. This feature makes it a familiar symbol for people across Russia.
