The Chesme Church is a small Orthodox church at 12 Lensoveta Street in Saint Petersburg, Russia, built by the court architect Yury Felten in 1780 at the direction of Catherine the Great. Raised beside the Chesme Palace as a memorial to Russia's 1770 victory over Turkish forces in Chesme Bay, it is a rare early example of Gothic Revival influence in Russian church architecture and one of the earliest Neo-Gothic constructions in the Saint Petersburg area.
