History
The Orthodox chapel was built in 1937 near the Russian military cemetery in the style of 15th-century Russian churches. Albert Alexandrovitch Benois is also the author of the painted decoration, including the iconostasis which separates the nave from the apse and which presents icons of the Annunciation and the four evangelists. The interior of the church also contains commemorative plaques in memory of the 4000 Russian soldiers who died on the field of honour in France between 1916 and 1918.
