Saint John Lutheran church, Lutheran church in Lomonosov, Russia.

Saint John Lutheran Church is a Protestant place of worship in Lomonosov built in the early 1800s with classical architectural features designed by architect I.I. Sharleman. The two-story building displays typical Lutheran design elements and stands out for its clean lines and straightforward appearance on Kirochnaya Street.

The Lutheran parish of Tyrö was separated from Tuutari in 1642; its first wooden church was built in 1691. After that church decayed, pastor Gustaf Herkepaeus petitioned Empress Elizabeth in 1748, and a second wooden church by Franz Brouwer stood from 1749 to 1831. Nicholas I approved a stone church by court architect Joseph Charlemagne in 1827, granted 90,000 rubles in January 1828, and the foundation was laid in June 1829; it was consecrated to Saint John on 21 January 1831.

The parish of Tyrö was Finnish-speaking Ingrian Lutheran, not German or Scandinavian; by 1865 it had 5,736 members and by 1917 some 8,424, spread over 68 villages. Two pastors served it, and in 1895 a Sunday school opened with teacher R. Pokkinen, a graduate of the Kolpana seminary. The church was closed in 1936.

The church is located at Kirochnaya Street 14 and remains open for visitors and worshippers throughout the week who can enter through the main doors. It sits within the town area and is easy to reach on foot or by public transportation.

The church stands on a small rise by the Oranienbaum road, where its cornerstone was laid in June 1829. Bricks came from a local factory, while other building materials were hauled in from the Gostilitsy estate. The building has federal cultural heritage status.
