Church of the Apostle Peter

Iskrovsky pr., 11

An Orthodox church with one of the tallest bell towers in Russia

chosen intentionally: it stands on the territory of the builders' park, while the Apostle Peter is traditionally revered as the patron of masons and carpenters. The white church stands in the middle of the park and creates a unique space in the area of unremarkable panel buildings.


Andrey Lebedev acted as the architect. He designed the building in the New Russian style. The church complex includes a number of structures: three gates, a parish house, a church building and an adjacent bell tower. The bell tower is 70 meters high, and some Gothic elements can be found in its architectural design. This is evidenced by the upward and slightly tapering hexagonal shape of the tower, as well as the multi-vaulted decorative system located under the dome, the elements of which are also vertically curved. Each of the complex structures is crowned with an onion dome with a golden cross, and the Church of the Apostle Peter itself has five domes.
