🏛 Church of the Transfiguration (Lutheran)

Зеленогорск, пр. Ленина, 13

A Lutheran church that survived the Soviet years as a cinema; now it has an active parish and an organ.

The church was built in 1907–1908 to a design by the Finnish architect Josef Stenbäck.
In 1940 its bell tower was destroyed, and from 1944 the Pobeda cinema operated in the building.
In 2001–2002 the church was restored and the bell tower rebuilt; it was reconsecrated in 2008, for its 100th anniversary.
Since 2004 the international music festival "Summer in Terijoki" has been held here every summer.
Nearby are the mass grave of 75 Finnish soldiers from Terijoki and the 2004 "Monument of Reconciliation" to participants of the Winter War.
