🏛 Trinity Church in Krasnoye Selo

пр. Ленина, 108

A stone church in "Annenskoye Baroque" (1733–1735, architect Blank) — the oldest building in Krasnoye Selo.

It was the main church of the summer military capital: the Romanovs from Catherine I to Nicholas II prayed here.
Among those who donated to its construction was Empress Anna Ioannovna.
In 1851–1854 the church was rebuilt and enlarged on the orders of Nicholas I, to a design by Alexander Rezanov.
Closed in 1938, the church served as a prison until the war.
In 1960 the building was given over to a House of Culture, with the dome and the upper tier of the bell tower demolished; they were restored in 1996–2003.
The spired bell tower rises about 32 metres.
The old big bell, weighing 2.68 tonnes, was cast in 1764; the present one in 2002.
