Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Yekaterinburg

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, an active Orthodox church in Yekaterinburg, is located in the Novo-Tikhvin Monastery. The three-domed, stone church was granted cathedral status by decree of the Synod. It was built in the classical style by architect M. P. Malakhov in 1848. The main church, consecrated on September 21, 1852, was erected in the name of Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky. The left aisle, built in the name of Nicholas, was consecrated on June 8, 1853. Less than a year later, on May 23, 1854, the right aisle was consecrated in the name of Christ's resurrection. A small bell was installed in the chapel for summoning purposes.
