Alexander Nevsky Church

Alexander Nevsky church in Chelyabinsk was created in 1907-1911 in memory of tsar Alexander II killed by members of the "Narodnaya Volya" on March 1st, 1881.

The church is built of red bricks just as a lot of works of Russian architecture. It is in the shape of a cross if seen from above and is very picturesque. The church has 13 gilded steeples crowned with orthodox crosses.

Alexander Nevsky church is important accent of city landscape and brings life and spirituality to it.
