🏛 Church of the Ascension of the Lord

Колпино, пр. Ленина, 4/19

A red-brick church built as a church-school (the school was consecrated in 1898, the church itself in 1901), opposite the factory buildings.

The church-school was built with his own money by the merchant Anikita Polotnov to a design by the architect Mikhail Andreyev in 1897–1901.
The school on the ground floor was consecrated in 1898, and the church itself on 7 (20) January 1901 with John of Kronstadt taking part.
In 1920 the church was closed and the upper floor turned into a gym for the Spartak club.
From 1946 the Zarya cinema worked in the building.
The church was returned to believers after the referendum of 14 March 1991.
