Annunciation Cathedral (Shlisselburg)

The Annunciation Cathedral in Shlisselburg, located on Krasnaya Square, is currently under restoration, services are not held in it, and it is assigned to the active St. Nicholas Church. The wooden predecessor church, built in 1726–1727, burned down in 1756, and the stone cathedral was supplemented with a vestry and a sacristy in 1881. During the Soviet era, the building was transferred to the "Melodiya" factory for use as a production workshop, and the bell tower was adapted for a parachute jump tower. In 2014–2015, a spire 52 meters high was installed on the bell tower, despite concerns that the walls of the cathedral would not withstand the load.
