Petrikirche, officially called the Lutheran Church of Saints Peter and Paul, is one of the oldest and largest Lutheran churches in Russia, located in St. Petersburg at 22-24 Nevsky Prospekt. It was founded in 1728 by decree of Peter II, who allocated land to the German Lutheran community. The first Baroque-style building was consecrated in 1730. By the 1830s, the old building had become dilapidated, and the architect Alexander Bryullov built a new church in the classical style with elements of the neo-Romanesque style. The church could accommodate up to 3,000 people and became the largest Lutheran cathedral in Russia. The facade is adorned with sculptures of the apostles Peter and Paul, reliefs of the evangelists, and a figure of an angel with a cross on the pediment. In 1937, the church was closed, the pastors were arrested, and the interiors were looted. Brullov's altarpiece was transferred to the Russian Museum, and the Wälker organ disappeared. From 1962 to 1992, the Dynamo swimming pool was located in the building. The pool's bowl is still visible under the current floor, which had to be raised by 4 meters during the restoration process. In 1993, the building was returned to the Lutheran community. Today, services are held in Russian and German on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. The church has two organs, a small one (Steinmann) and a large one (Willi Peter, 2017), and hosts classical music concerts. The unique acoustics of the hall allow for organ concerts and opera performances. Petrikirche is not only a religious center, but also a symbol of cultural heritage that combines the history of the German community, Soviet realities, and modern public...

На сегодняшний день Петрикирхе является самым крупным кафедральным лютеранским собором в России. Немного истории: 1710 г. учреждена самая первая лютеранская община. 1729 г. заложена вторая церковь на Невском проспекте. Июль 1833 г. снесено старое здание церкви. 21 августа 1833 г. заложен первый камень в основание новой церкви. 31 октября 1838 г. (День Реформации) церковь освящена. 1895-1897 гг. генеральная реконструкция интерьера церкви. конец 1937 г. арест пасторов и членов общины, с приговором к высшей мере наказания. 2 февраля 1938 г. закрытие церкви, с передачей здания «Ленгосэстраде». 1940-1950 гг. размещение в здании церкви самых разных складов. 1955 г. решение о переоборудовании под бассейн, с передачей здания «Балтийскому морскому пароходству». 1962 г. открытие плавательного бассейна для школьников и студентов соседних школ и институтов, а также для тренировок игроков в водное поло и прыгунов в воду, проведения международных соревнований и праздничных мероприятий. Июнь 1993 г. возвращение здания церкви Евангелическо-Лютеранской Церкви в России и Других Государствах, а сама Петрикирхе стала кафедральным собором. 16.09.1997 г. повторное освящение церкви, после ее восстановления (включая перекрытие чаши бассейна). 2014 г. церковь Св. Гертруды в Стокгольме выступила с предложением передать общине Петрикирхе действующий орган Willi Peter. Весной 2017 г. орган был установлен на историческое место на органной галерее и 4 июня 2017 г. впервые зазвучал в стенах Петрикирхе. На сегодняшний день в Петрикирхе установлены два органа, построенные в Германии: малый орган Steinmann (10 регистров) и большой орган Willi Peter (43 регистра), являющийся самым большим органом Петербурга, установленным в церковном зале. Самый большой орган компании Walcker, созданный для экспорта за рубеж, в свое время находился именно в стенах Петрикирхе (63 регистра, ныне утрачен). 2018 г. при содействии Фонда Bundesstiftung Aufarbeitung в Берлине реализован проект по обновлению исторической экспозиции Петрикирхе, которую можно увидеть в левом крыле здания. Петрикирхе является действующей евангелическо-лютеранской церковью, в которой каждое воскресенье проходят богослужения на русском и на немецком языках. Кроме регулярных богослужений и органных концертов, в Петрикирхе проводятся экскурсии: Обзорная - путешествие по всем этажам церкви - от высот восточной башни с видом на Ангела до подземелья в Катакомбах - и 300-летней истории Петрикирхе; Башни Петрикирхе - подъём к колоколам в обеих башнях и рассказ про судьбу колоколов и часов. На соединяющей башни органной Петрикирхе галерее - приближение к большому органу и вид сверху на церковный зал. Билеты на стойке приёма или на сайте Петрикирхе. Рекомендую...

The Lutheran Church of St. Peter is one of the churches you can visit along Nevsky Prospekt. The church was built to serve the German community between 1833-37 and is one of the oldest Protestant churches in Russia.

The facade is conservative with twin towers and the interior is very simple and modest, typical of Protestant churches. A visit inside is short affair as there isn't much to see in the main worship area. However, there are guided tours that you take as well if arranged.

Historically, the church was closed during the Soviet period but reopened in the early 1990s. Now it is open for services, concerts and visits. Check the website for service and concert times if interested.

You can conveniently visit for 15-20 minutes while spending time along Nevsky Prospekt then be on your way with intended...

Lutheran Church of Saints Peter and Paul in the very center on Nevsky Prospekt. The church constantly hosts events for everyone, I advise you to attend one of the organ concerts, they take place quite often and they are simply mesmerizing! Next to the church is the Kazan Cathedral, the passage through the arch of the main headquarters to the Hermitage and other main attractions of the city.
