Nevsky Prospekt

Nevsky Prospekt is St. Petersburg's main avenue and one of the best-known streets in Russia. Cutting through the historical center of the city, it runs from the Admiralty to the Moscow Railway Station and then, after a slight kink, to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery. In the very first days of St. Petersburg it was simply the beginning of the road to the ancient city of Novgorod, but it quickly became adorned with beautiful buildings, squares and bridges and became the very center of the bustling, rapidly growing city.

Petrikirche

Address
22 к2 Nevsky avenue

Lutheran Church of Saints Peter and Paul(Petrikirche) with moderate architecture keeps the memory of the hard history of the German community in St. Petersburg: in the Soviet times there was a swimming pool right here. The bowl still exists beneath the floor of the main hall. The austere benches for parishioners are located around its centre. Under this bowl there is another layer of pain: the catacombs where women and children hid during the war. The walls have been covered with the paintings of an American impressionist artist.
