The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Petergof is a Russian Orthodox cathedral built in the Russian Revival style and completed in 1905. Designed by civil engineer Nikolai Sultanov, whose plan was approved by Emperor Alexander III in 1893, the brick structure rises to 70 meters and features the characteristic tented-roof design of Russian ecclesiastical architecture. The cathedral was closed in 1935 and sustained severe damage during World War II when German troops used it to house artillery. Following restoration, religious services resumed in the space in 1990, and it remains a regional cultural heritage site.
