Saint Nicholas Church in Sestroretsk

Saint Nicholas Church in Sestroretsk, Lutheran church in Sestroretsk, Russia

Saint Nicholas Church was a wooden Lutheran prayer house built in 1904 in Sestroretsk, the centre of the former Siestarjoki chapel parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria. It was converted into a church in the same year. The building no longer exists: it was closed in 1932 and turned into a dormitory, and today a residential building with an attached kindergarten, known as the "Muraveinik", stands on the site.

A Lutheran congregation formed in 1721 among Germans working at the Sestroretsk arms factory. In 1815 the community built a wooden chapel attached to the Valkeasaari parish, and in 1904 a wooden prayer house was erected and converted that same year into Saint Nicholas Church. The parish belonged to the Shlisselburg provostship. The church was closed in 1932 and its building turned into a dormitory; a residential block with an attached kindergarten, the so-called "Muraveinik", now stands on the site.

The parish belonged to the Shlisselburg provostship, and services were held in Estonian twice a year. A Sunday school operated from 1878, taught by pastor A. V. Forstadius. The church itself is gone: since 1932 the building served as a dormitory, and the site now holds a housing block with an attached kindergarten, known as the "Muraveinik".

The church no longer exists: it was closed in 1932 and its building turned into a dormitory. Today the site is occupied by a residential block with an attached kindergarten, known locally as the "Muraveynik" (ant heap). Look for this building when tracing the former parish of Siestarjoki.
