Archangel Michael Chapel Temple

The Chapel of Archangel Michael is located in Penza on Victory Square next to the Monument to Military and Labor Glory. The construction of the chapel, timed to the 55th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, began in 2000 according to the design of architect Viktor Gerasimov. The first services were held on May 9, 2000, and in 2008 a bell tower with seven bells, consecrated by Archbishop Filaret, was built nearby. The chapel is part of the Victory Square memorial ensemble.
