The Trinity-Peter's Cathedral (St. Peter's Church of the Holy Trinity) - was the first church in St. Petersburg, which gave the name of its first square, the former center of city life (the Trinity Church was surrounded by the main state and commercial institutions). The Trinity-Peter's Cathedral was founded in 1709 by Peter the Great. After the closure of the first Peter and Paul Church in 1714, the Trinity Church became the main cathedral of the capital, where in the presence of the tsar and his family, all solemn state services were held, including services in honor of such events as the Poltava victory and the Nishtadt peace.

The cathedral was rebuilt several times because of fires. Finally destroyed by the Soviet power in 1933.
In 2002-2003 in memory of the destroyed Trinity-Peter's cathedral the chapel of the Trinity-Lifestarted was erected.
In the chapel, church services are regularly performed.
