      🏛 Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Elizabeth

      Минеральная ул., 21

      Nikolai Benois's Romanesque church of 1856–1879 — all that is left of a huge Catholic cemetery.

      • At first there was a cemetery chapel of 1859 here; in the 1870s Benois added a bell tower with a clock.
      • Adolf Charlemagne painted the interior, and Nikolai Benois himself is buried in the crypt.
      • The Vyborg Catholic Cemetery had about 40,000 burials; it was closed in 1939.
      • The artist Fyodor Bruni and the singer Angiolina Bosio were buried here.
