Chapel (Tsarskoye Selo)

Shapel is a pavilion in the form of a chapel, built in the Alexander Park of the city of Pushkin in 1825–1828 according to the design of architect Adam Menelas. At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, anti-aircraft guns were installed in the attic of the building, and during the occupation it served as an observation post. After the revolution, the pavilion was opened to visitors, but in the early 1930s it was closed due to low attendance, after which residential apartments were placed there. The interior contained figures of angels by the sculptor V. I. Demut-Malinovsky and a marble statue of Christ by Johann Heinrich von Dannecker, which is now kept in the Hermitage.
