The Church of Saint Martyr Julian of Tarsus situated on Kadetsky Boulevard is perhaps the only church of this saint in the world. The church was designed by architect V.N. Kunitsyn and S.A. Dani for His Majesty's Life-Guards Cuirassier Regiment.
The regiment took part in the battles at Taurine, Borodino and Leipzig.
At the 200th anniversary of the Regiment its Commander Y. Prezhentsev noted that “many generations will pray in the church, look at the centuries-old shrine with devotion, and strive to pattern themselves on the ancestors who proved the reputation and valour of His Majesty's Life-Guards Cossacks”.
The Church is styled under Russian churches of the 17th century.
The consecration of the church took place on December 19, 1899. Archpriest A.A. Zhelobovsky, Saint John of Kronstadt, priests of Tsarskoye Selo, and the royal family took part in the consecration. Cuirassier Life Guards His Majesty’s Regiment
