St. Elias Church
Vyborg, Ilyinskaya Street, 1
St. Elijah's Church is situated in Vyborg on Ilyinskaya Street. It was restored based on a project by a diploma student from Repin's institute who suggested a flat ceiling instead of traditional vaults. Construction took place from December 1994, including foundation laying and bell tower erection. The domes were covered by alpinists' teams from St. Pyotrsburg. Interiors' icons are inspired by Russian art of the XII-XV centuries. In 1939, the building was repaired and connected to heating.
