Church of Saint Elizabeth (Kronshtadt)

The Church of St. Elizabeth in Kronstadt, also known as the Elizabethan Church, is a defunct Lutheran temple and an object of cultural heritage of federal significance. The stone building, erected in 1836–1838 by architect K. Beil according to the design of E. Anert on the site of a burnt-down wooden church, has a rectangular plan and a facade with a portico of six Corinthian order columns. In 1924, the district committee of the Komsomol proposed closing the temple due to the small number of parishioners (15–20 people) and turning it into a House of Proletarian Physical Culture. Today, the church's congregation operates from the pastor's house and is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ingria.
