The Russian Chapel and the grave of a Russian soldier are important memorial sites associated with Russian soldiers and the First World War.
The Russian Chapel and the grave of a Russian soldier are important memorial sites associated with Russian soldiers and the First World War. The St Vladimir Chapel is an outstanding military heritage and was declared a monument of national importance in 2015.
The wooden chapel dedicated to St Vladimir was built in 1915 by Russian soldiers. Construction of the chapel began in 1915 and was completed at the end of the same year, or perhaps in early 1916. The chapel was built because of the need for a religious facility due to the large number of Russian war soldiers.
The construction of the chapel is wooden. It was originally clad with bark, later with planks. The simple wooden building boasts two columns, and the modest interior features an interesting altar with an iconostasis, wrought-iron chandeliers and candlesticks.
You can experience the past through an AR app, where you can learn the story of the Russian Chapel in six scenes using augmented reality. A voice guide guides you through the experience and can tell the story in one of five languages. For the grand finale, you can also go inside the Russian Chapel.
