Tallinn Old Believers Chapel
German: Reval
Tallinn's Old Believers' chapel was built in 1930 by Ado Mäeberg, whose wife Stepanida, née Belasova, was an Old Believer and died that same year. Engineer Joosep Lukk designed it, Yefimiya Sapozhnikova gave a large donation, and Peeter Baranin and his wife paid for much of the iconostasis and interior. In 1931 an extension by Nikolai Thamm Jr. doubled its size. The March 1944 bombing destroyed the roof, and in the 1960s its onion-domed turret and other religious features were removed. Reconstruction in 2007–2018, led by architect Niina Mäger, restored the turret.

Tallinna vanausuliste palvela ehitas 1930. aastal Ado Mäeberg, kelle samal aastal surnud abikaasa Stepanida (sündinud Belasova) oli vanausuline. Hoone projekteeris insener Joosep Lukk, suure annetuse tegi Jefimia Sapožnikova ning Peeter Baranin abikaasaga kandsid suure osa ikonostaasi ja interjööri kuludest. 1931. aastal kahekordistas Nikolai Thamm noorema juurdeehitus hoone suuruse. 1944. aasta märtsipommitamine hävitas katuse ja 1960. aastatel eemaldati sibulkiivriga tornike ja teised usulised elemendid. Arhitekt Niina Mägeri juhitud taastamine aastatel 2007–2018 tõi tornikese tagasi.
