"The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood also referred to as the Church on Spilt Blood and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, is located in St. Petersburg, Russia. This magnificent Russian-style church construction started out in 1883 under Alexander III, on the spot where his father Emperor Alexander II was assassinated in March 1881. The development of the church was almost entirely funded by the Imperial family and thousands of personal donators, designed and created by the most prominent Russian artists of the day V.M. Vasnetsov, M.V. Nesterov and M.A. Vrubel. Surprisingly, in spite of the church’s very undoubtedly Russian characteristic, the main architect, A. Parland, was not even Russian by birth."
