Lutheran Church of St. Peter and Paul
Собор Святых Петра и Павла
An 1799 neoclassical Lutheran church and a spiritual center of the Finnish period, now known for its organ concerts.
St. Peter and St. Paul's Church was built in 1793–1799 to serve the city's German and Finnish Lutheran congregations. Its simple, elegant neoclassical facade faces a small square where a monument stands to Mikael Agricola, the Finnish Bible translator and Reformation figure who died near Vyborg in 1557. The church is now used by the Finnish-Russian Lutheran community, and in summer it hosts organ and chamber music concerts. It sits on the green space south of Market Square, and a visit takes about 20 minutes.
