 Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2006 4:01 am Post subject: What is the name of pink church? |
 |
|
Hi, I am trying to find out the name of a pink church in St Petersburg. It is almost circular in shape when seen from the front and looks like a whitre and pink wedding cake.
I believe it is on the way from the Monument to the Heroic Defenders of Leningrad to Nevsky Prospeckt.
I was so careless not to ask my local guide for the name.
Can anyone help? |

Let me try and describe it from memory.
The Church is pink withr white strips running vertically down around the circular building.
There is a circular window on top of the door, and I believe there are 3 "towers".
It is an active church as there was a service running when I visited and it sits on land that is not turfed.
It looks very different from the normal orthodox church. Circular in shape with no external columns seen.
I think it should be south or west of St Pete's.
Many thanks! |

Oh, I know what you mean. I saw this church on a photo and I would like to visit the church too, but I can't find its location and name despite the fact that I live in SPb  |

Yes, that is it, the Chesma Church--pink and white wedding cake church.
Adoho, thank you so much for identifying it despite my not-so-good description. I never realised it was Gothic architecture.
GuideSpb, thanks for your help too, and now I have seen more churches that I wasn't able to when I was there.
Oleg, if the Chesma Church is what you wanted to see too, Adoho has written the address and it is near Moskovskaya Metro. |

Yes, Chesma Church is what I tried to find. Thanks to Adoho. I pass the nearest area of Moskovskaya metro 5 days a week, but I have never been on Lensoveta st. Tomorrow I'll be there  |

Hi. You won't believe me but I haven't been there yet.  Sometimes I don't have enough time to go to look at the church and sometimes I forget about it. Thank you for reminding. I think I will go there next week.
I see you like photographing  |
