A 1934 Russian Orthodox church in the French Concession, built for the large White Russian émigré community that settled in Shanghai after the 1917 revolution. The building — Byzantine domes, brick exterior, icon-painted interior — is one of the few surviving Russian Orthodox churches in mainland China and documents the presence of a significant Russian community in pre-war Shanghai.
The church is now operated as a restaurant interior (with some sensitivity to the architectural character); visitors can see the interior structure without it being a functioning religious site. The surrounding blocks have several other former Russian commercial and residential buildings from the 1920s and 1930s that constitute a small Russian Shanghai heritage trail.
