Voronezh Lutheran Church, Lutheran church in Voronezh, Russia.

The Voronezh Lutheran Church of St. Mary Magdalene is a stone Empire-style church designed by provincial architect F. K. Drevits and consecrated on 12 September 1819. Its neoclassical facade with columns and pediment faces the street in central Voronezh, where it serves the Evangelical Lutheran congregation.

Protestant communities formed in Voronezh in the early 18th century, when Peter I brought foreigners to build the fleet, and German immigrants settled the region under Catherine II. In 1811 the community decided to build a church; the provincial architect F. K. Drevits designed it in the Empire style, and Pastor Allendorf of Ribensdorf consecrated it on 12 September 1819. Rebuilt in 1854 and repaired in 1869, 1882 and 1897, it was closed in 1938 and housed the city electricity network from 1943 to 2008, when it was returned to a Lutheran congregation.

The church reflects how German-speaking residents shaped religious life in the city and left their mark on local traditions. Today, visitors can observe how European and Russian building styles merged in this place of worship.

The church stands in central Voronezh, and the building has been used again for regular Evangelical services since 2008 and 2021. Services are led by vicar Alexander Menshugin of the Central Provostship; the congregation council is chaired by Vladislav Bezdryadin. Check service times before visiting.

The church is a federal cultural heritage site. From 1943 to 2008 the building housed the city electricity network (Gorelektroset), and a Baptist preacher was arrested there in 1938 when the congregation was dissolved. In 2015 its rector Anatoly Malakhov was consecrated bishop, giving the church cathedral status.
