A brief excursion into the history of the Church of St. Anne.

July 20, 1775 was laid a new stone church designed by architect Yury Felten. The consecration of the church took place on October 24, 1779.

In 1826, the former Fourth Artillery Street (formerly Fifth Line) called Kirochnaya - at the Lutheran church of St. Anne.

In 1935 the church was closed, and in 1939 the architects Alexander and Leo Gegello indirectly it was adapted for the cinema, called "Spartacus."

In March 1992, the church resumed Sunday service, which lasted until September 1997.

In 1998-2000, the cinema has been reconstructed into a live club with the same name. Performed, for example, such a group now known as the "King and the Clown", "Corrosion" and many others.

Parallel to the concerts in the hall continued to hold film screenings, but the building has been purchased by the company "Erato".
