This article presents a case study of the 'imperial temple' of the former tsars' palace in Gatchina, a state museum located nearby Saint Petersburg. It illustrates how top-level state policies have allowed professional focus on the religious materiality of the imperial past to become linked to the introduction of Orthodox Christian practice. This combination has also resulted from the actors' specific life trajectories and ethical positions, from social relationships and group identities originated in the late- and post-Soviet periods, and from long-term local intra-Orthodox struggles over power and piety. The case study shines a spotlight on the emergence of a post-secular religious heritage complex in Russia. This complex is shaped simultaneously by a secular, formerly atheist, preservationist ethos and by a religious commitment
