The Lifeguard Jaeger church was consecrated to "Saint and martyr Myron". Emperor Nicholas I financed the building from the Privy Purse. The church itself was located close to the riverside of the "Obvodnyi" canal, near the estuary to the "Vvedenskiy" canal. It was constructed during the period from 1849 to 1854 in memory to the victory of the coalition forces of Russia and Prussia in the Battle of Kulm against Napoleon, August 17, 1813, and the day of Saint Miron. Building was according to the plans of the architect Konstantin Thon. Distinguished officers of the regiment were laid to rest there.
