It is officially a museum, however the religious services were resumed in 2000.
The inside of the cathedral there is a fantastic iconostasis, completed by a group of more than forty Moscow architects under Ivan Zarudny from 1722-1727. Whereas the architectural style of the cathedral is similar in style to the Lutheran church, the paintings of the iconostasis is more in the spirit of Catholic church icons. The walls of the cathedral are also embellished with paintings of various bible themes, including many paintings of gospel stories by artists of the early and mid 18th century.]]> Sat, 18 Apr 2026 08:50:39 GMT http://puzzles-games.eu/data/thumbnails/13/Iconostasis-in-Cathedral-of-Peter-and-Paul-St.Petersburg-Russia.jpg http://puzzles-games.eu/puzzle-iconostasis-in-cathedral-of-peter-and-paul-st.petersburg-russia-4076.html 3600
