St. Nicholas Church (Gatchina)

The Lutheran Church of St. Nicholas in Gatchina, designed for 220 seats, was solemnly consecrated on October 22, 1828, according to a standard project by architect D. I. Quadri. The architectural appearance of the building is emphasized by a portico accentuating the main entrance, and sandriks on brackets are placed above the door and window openings. In 1859, the parish numbered 1258 people — Germans and Finns, and by 1919 and 1922, the number of parishioners reached 2500 people. Photographs from the German occupation show the state of the temple after the destruction of autumn 1941, and the revived Lutheran parish of the Church of Ingria was registered in Gatchina in August 1990.
