The article is devoted to the issues of new construction of Orthodox temple facilities and complexes. This process is considered on the example of the St. Petersburg experience of carrying out work on the revival of the spiritual heritage of the city. The construction of new churches challenges architects to choose between the established canons of church construction adopted in the past and the realization of their creative and spiritual priorities, as well as a stylistic response to the task. This allows us to state the various decisions of the temples, despite their common canonical context. The purpose of the article is to study the stylistic trends of the new church architecture: their correspondence to the context of the selected location, the surrounding development.
