Nõmme Church of John the Baptist
Nõmme's Orthodox church of St John the Baptist, on the corner of Tähe and Raudtee streets, was built in 1922–1923 on a plot donated by the Glehn family, the founders of Nõmme. It was paid for with donations and charity events, and the money ran out before the planned frescoes and stained glass could be made. In Soviet times the church was set on fire twice, in 1970 and 1972. Only during its restoration in 2003–2004 were the frescoes from the original design finally added, along with stained glass by Andrei Lobanov.

Tähe ja Raudtee tänava nurgal asuv Nõmme Ristija Johannese õigeusu kirik ehitati aastatel 1922–1923 Glehnide perekonna kingitud krundile. Ehitus maksti annetuste ja heategevusürituste rahaga ning raha sai otsa enne, kui kavandatud freskod ja vitraažid jõuti teha. Nõukogude ajal süüdati kirik kaks korda, 1970. ja 1972. aastal. Alles 2003.–2004. aasta restaureerimisel lisati algse projekti freskod ning Andrei Lobanovi vitraažid.
