Armenian Resurrection church, Armenian religious site in Vasileostrovsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Armenian Resurrection Church is a church building with stone architecture, characterized by domed structures and decorative details on both its exterior and interior. The construction displays classical features that make the building recognizable both from outside and within.

The site was established in 1791 and marks the early presence of Armenian communities in Saint Petersburg. This founding shows how Armenian people had already settled in the city by the late 1700s and created their own religious space.

The church belongs to the Armenian Apostolic Church and is the seat of the parish headed by Father Sarkis (Chopuryan). In front of the facade stands a carved khachkar, a cross-stone made in 1994 by the Yerevan sculptor A. Hovsepyan, a detail visitors can examine before entering.

The building is located in Vasileostrovsky District and is open to visitors. Before you go, check the current visiting hours, as regular services are held and may affect when you can enter.

The building is among the earliest Armenian religious sites in northern Russia and demonstrates the long history of Armenian presence there. This early settlement makes it a rare example of Armenian religious life far from traditional Armenian regions.
