Church of Our Lady the Merciful

The Church of Our Lady the Merciful (Russian: Церковь иконы Божией Матери «Милующая»), is a Russian Orthodox Church in St Petersburg, Russia currently under restoration. It is located in the Vasileostrovsky District, on Vasilievsky Island, at the address 100, Bolshoi Prospekt. During Soviet times the building was used as a training center for naval rescue divers. The church was the prototype for the Naval Cathedral in Kronstadt. The government began the process of return to the Diocese of St. Petersburg of the Russian Orthodox Church in 2006 and the official process was concluded in 2012. It is under restoration to its original use.
