Church of Seraphim of Sarov (Peterhof)

The Church of Seraphim of Sarov in Old Peterhof, located at 11A Oranienbaumskoye Highway, is a courtyard of the Seraphim-Diveyevo Monastery, established by the decision of Nicholas II. The five-domed church in the Neo-Russian style with a high hipped bell tower, built in the 1904–1910s according to the design of architect Nikolai Nikonov, combines features of the Naryshkin Baroque of the late 17th century. In 1941, the building became a defense point, as a result of which the bell tower and the upper tier were almost destroyed by artillery, and the interiors suffered during the Soviet period. In 2020, the restoration of the facades was completed with the reconstruction of the five domes and the hipped bell tower, after which work began on restoring the interiors.
