Built in the 1860s to serve Russians arriving from St. Petersburg at the nearby Wilenska train station, the golden chapel retains its original Byzantine portraits. The impressive building sports five onion domes and is in Russo-Byzantine style. It is one of the two Orthodox churches that survived demolition in the 1920s.
