🏛 Annenkirche — Church of St Anne

Кирочная ул., 8В

Felten's Lutheran church with a semicircular colonnade; after the fire of 2002 the walls inside were left sooty — concerts and exhibitions are held here.

The church was founded on 20 July 1775 to a design by Yury Felten and consecrated on 24 October 1779.
Felten gave the building two almost equal facades — onto Kirochnaya and onto Furshtatskaya.
In 1939 the church was converted into the Spartak cinema; from the mid-1980s the State Film Fund screened films here.
On 6 December 2002, soon after the decision to return the building to the Lutherans, a fire broke out inside and the church burned out.
The facades were restored in 2010.
