The Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God is an Eastern Orthodox church in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and a federal cultural heritage site. Monks from the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra began its construction in 1894 to expand their monastic branch there, and the work took six years. Vasily Kosyakov designed the church in the neo-Byzantine style, and it is built of brick and sandstone.
