Saint Catherine of Alexandria orthodox church
Saint Catherine of Alexandria orthodox church, Orthodox church in Vasileostrovsky District, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The white stone Orthodox church stands near Tuchkov Bridge, featuring an eight-column Corinthian portico and a central dome with Greek cross layout.
Built between 1811 and 1823 according to architect Andrey Mikhailov's design, the church replaced a wooden structure that burned down on Christmas Day 1809.
The temple contains numerous religious artifacts, including the salvaged icon of Saint Catherine of Alexandria from the previous wooden church that burned in 1809.
Religious services take place regularly in the space under the bell tower, which was added to the original structure between 1861 and 1863.
Russian poets Anna Akhmatova and Nikolai Gumilev lived near the church in 1912-1914, with Akhmatova mentioning the temple in her writings.
