St. Peter's Lutheran Cathedral

The Lutheran Church of St. Peter was built according to the project of K.P. Bryullov (brother of the famous artist), who borrowed architectural forms from the medieval architecture of Western Europe.

The facade of the building is decorated with two towers, between which the portal of the main entrance is located. The portal is made according to the scheme, which was actively used in the construction of temples in France and other countries of Western Europe in the X century. The spirit of Romanesque architecture was impregnated and the church hall. The most expressive detail of the temple was the painting “Crucifixion” by K.P. Bryullov.

In 1737, two houses were built near the church, which housed the apartments of church ministers and a school.

In the 1930s, the church was used as a warehouse, so its interior decoration did not survive. In the 1960s, the church was converted into a swimming pool. Only in 1993 the building of the church was returned to the Russian Lutheran Church, but it was not possible to recreate the former Brullovsky interior.
