Easy stop off green line of subway. One of the few highly rated sites without many tour groups. Beautiful space in which to pray. We had a priest chanting prayers throughout our visit which added aural beauty as well. God is good.

Dear guests of the city of St. Petersburg. We bring to your attention tourist building Nikolskoe cemetery. The cemetery has a regular layout. In the territory there is a pond. The Nikolskaya path leading from the main entrance to the church is oriented to the apse of the Trinity Cathedral, and thus this necropolis is included in a single ensemble of the laurels. Pond The cemetery at the beginning of the XXI century was the most neglected cemetery of the Lavra, which was originally the burial place of the Lavra clergy. Like all the cemeteries of the city, it suffered not only from neglect and lack of proper care, but also vandalism, mainly - grave digging. Back in the 1950s-1960s, in the remote corners of the cemetery, it was possible to see half-buried zinc coffins from the ground, and open crypts also represent a characteristic feature of the cemetery landscape in the first decade of the 21st century.

Tikhvin Cemetery is located at the Alexander Nevsky Monastery, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. By the beginning of the 19th century, the Lazarevskoye Cemetery of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra was overcrowded, and it was decided to allocate a new site for burial. The cemetery, originally called Novo-Lazarevsky, was laid in 1823. In 1869-1871 in the northern part of the Novo-Lazarevsky cemetery a church-tomb was built, consecrated in the name of the miraculous icon of the Tikhvin Mother of God. The money for the construction of the church in the Byzantine-Russian style was donated by the merchants Polezhaev, for whose family members 20 places with 13 graves were allocated in the tomb. In 1876, the New Lazarevskoye cemetery was renamed Tikhvin. The church was closed in 1931 and remade by post office. The grave of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
