A Byzantine-style memorial chapel built in 1867–1868 to a design by architect David Grimm on the site of the Villa Bermond, where the heir to the throne Nicholas Alexandrovich died in April 1865. The villa estate was purchased by Emperor Alexander II. The chapel stands in the park next to St. Nicholas Cathedral, later built on the same land, and has been protected together with it as a French historic monument since 1987.
