Decabrists Church, Chita, Historical wooden church and museum in Chita, Russia.
The wooden church building features traditional Russian Orthodox architectural elements with carved details and stands as a regional cultural site.
The structure, constructed in 1776, became a central meeting point for exiled Russian revolutionaries known as Decembrists after their failed 1825 revolt.
The building transformed into a museum in 1985, displaying artifacts, documents, and personal items that belonged to the exiled Decembrists in Siberia.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM, offering English audio guides for international visitors despite Russian-only signage.
The church holds the marriage records of Decembrist Ivan Annenkov to French designer Pauline Guebl, reflecting connections between European and Siberian society.
