I've been to Peterhof, but somehow I didn't notice such a wonderful church. Thank you for showing it to me. It has very unusual architecture; I would never have guessed it was an Orthodox church.

Alex Mimo,
Yes, it is an Orthodox church in honor of Alexander Nevsky. Gothic style was fashionable at the time. Nicholas I himself was actively involved in this project. This is about the sixth version of this church.
