Рождественский сквер

Рождественский сквер, Garden square in central Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Rozhdestvensky Square is a 0.15-hectare garden square at the intersection of 6th Rozhdestvenskaya (6th Sovetskaya) Street and Krasnoborsky Lane in central Saint Petersburg. It occupies the site of the Church of the Nativity of Christ on Sands, designed by Pyotr Yegorov and built between 1781 and 1787, which was demolished in 1934. The square retains the trees and shrubs that once surrounded the church, and a new church was built on the site between 2017 and 2020.

The Church of the Nativity of Christ on the Sands was built here in 1781–1787 to a design by architect Pyotr Yegorov; the Rozhdestvensky slobody and later the Rozhdestvensky streets took their name from it. The church was demolished in 1934, leaving a planted area with the trees and shrubs that had surrounded it. In September 2012 the square was fenced off for excavations of the blown-up church's site, and a new church was built between 2017 and July 2020.

The square and the surrounding streets take their name from the Church of the Nativity of Christ on the Sands, built here in 1781–1787 to a design by Pyotr Yegorov. In 1923 the Rozhdestvensky streets were renamed Sovetsky, and the church was demolished in 1934. A new church was built on the square between 2017 and 2020.

The square lies at the corner of 6th Sovetskaya Street (formerly 6th Rozhdestvenskaya) and Krasnoborsky Lane, covering 0.15 hectares. Excavations for the church ran from September 2012 to May 2013, and a fence and water-filled pit remained on the site until 2015. The Church of the Nativity of Christ on Sands, built in 1781–1787 to a design by Pyotr Yegorov, was demolished in 1934; its replacement was built between late 2017 and July 2020.
