Church Website

The church, founded in the mid-20th century for Russian immigrants, meets in Peterhof-Kapelle at the University of Freiburg. Peterhofkapelle was built in the late 1500s as part of St. Peter's monastery; it is the oldest building at the University of Freiburg. Since 1960 the chapel has been home to the Russian Orthosox and Romanian Orthodox churches. The iconostas and other equipment were purchased through a donation from the Lutheran church.
