The Church of St. Stanislaus was the second Catholic church in St. Petersburg. It was built from 1823 to 1825, in the time when relations between the Orthodox and the Catholic Churches were improved. Funds for construction were donated by Stanisław Bohusz Siestrzeńcewicz, the first metropolitan of the Catholic Church in the history of the Russian Empire. He also presented a place for construction, donating his own house for it.

David Visconti, an architect from Italy, made a project for a small rectangular building in the classic style. Each of the two front sides of the building is decorated with three porticoes with columns of the Corinthian order. On the top, the church is crowned with a small squat dome. Inside, the church is divided into three naves by two rows of columns, the ceilings are painted with frescoes.

During the Soviet era, the temple was closed and the building was transferred first to a warehouse, then to production of gas masks, and finally to the Rot Front factory production departments. Due to careless usage, the building was severely deteriorated and its interior decoration was almost completely destroyed. The church building was included in the list of cultural and historical heritage, and therefore restoration activities began in 1980s and were finished in 1998.
