New Cemetery (Gatchina)

The New Cemetery in Gatchina, also known as Solodukhino, is located on Solodukhina Street. On its territory stands the Church of All Saints, built in the pseudo-Russian style with three domes, the construction of which in 1889 was funded by the Palace Administration and the Gatchina Insurance Society without charge. Merchant N. A. Shilov, who served as churchwarden since 1892, laid a stone chapel of John the Baptist on the cemetery with his donations in 1906. According to the memories of old residents, tombstones and pedestals were partially used to reinforce the foundations of city buildings, and the section with the graves of pilots lost its propellers after 1957.
