EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of the Russian Chapel, also known as the Cathedrale de l'Exaltation de la Sainte Croix, in Geneva, Switzerland, as it stood in 1912. Nestled amidst the lush greenery and tranquil waters of Lake Geneva, the chapel's distinctive onion-shaped domes rise majestically against the clear blue sky. The Russian Chapel is a testament to the rich cultural history of Geneva, which has long been a melting pot of diverse influences. Constructed in 1912, the chapel was built to serve the Russian Orthodox community in the city. Its ornate design, with intricate carvings and colorful mosaics, reflects the unique architectural style of Russian Orthodox churches. The photograph also showcases the chapel's peaceful surroundings, with a horse-drawn carriage making its way along the cobblestone path leading up to the chapel entrance. The carriage adds a touch of elegance and nostalgia to the scene, transporting us back in time to the early 20th century. The Russian Chapel remains an enduring symbol of Geneva's multicultural heritage and the city's historic ties to Russia. Today, it continues to welcome visitors from around the world who seek to experience the beauty and tranquility of this unique place of worship.
