Anglican church in Saint Petersburg

The Anglican Church building features classical architectural elements with a symmetrical design and maintains its original 1877 pipe organ installation.

Constructed in 1730 for British merchants and diplomats, the church underwent significant architectural modifications between 1814 and 1815 in classical style.

The church represents the historical presence of British expatriates in Saint Petersburg and continues to host services during major Christian celebrations.

Located at 56 English Embankment, the building now functions as a concert venue while preserving its status as a federal cultural heritage site.

The structure contains the single remaining pipe organ from four instruments originally commissioned by British expatriates in Russia during the 19th century.
