Church of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, Saint Petersburg

The Church of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple displays Russian-Byzantine architecture with a central dome reaching 37 meters in height and 500 square meters of interior space.

The original church, funded by merchant Alexander Dorogin in 1887 in Polyustrovo district, closed in 1933, leading to construction of the current building starting March 5, 2000.

Interior artist Olga Sheremetyeva created religious paintings that adorn the walls, while regular Orthodox services maintain traditional Russian spiritual practices.

The church holds daily services under rector Dmitry Lushnikov, who also leads the Department of Theology at Saint Petersburg Theological Academy.

The first service in the new building took place during Christmas celebrations in 2009, marking the completion of construction work that began with replacing a wooden chapel.
