🏛 Stroganov (Nativity) Church

Рождественская ул., 34А

A church of the late 17th century on Rozhdestvenskaya, carved like a jewelry box and built with the money of the merchant Grigory Stroganov.

The church was built in 1696–1719 with funds from the merchant Grigory Dmitrievich Stroganov.
It is one of the finest examples of the Stroganov style and a federally protected architectural monument.
Construction was almost finished by 1701, but a fire got in the way; the main altar was consecrated on 21 June 1719.
According to tradition, Peter I prayed here on 29 May 1722, on the eve of his 50th birthday.
In the 1860s the bell tower began to lean dangerously and over 20 years tilted by 1.2 m.
