Saint Alexius Church at Novo-Alekseevsky convent

Saint Alexius Church stands as a brick structure within the Novo-Alekseevsky convent complex, featuring elements of Russian-Byzantine architectural design throughout its exterior and interior spaces.

Constructed in 1851, the church remained operational until 1926 when Soviet authorities closed the convent, though it reopened its doors to worshippers in 1991.

The church maintains regular Eastern Orthodox services and religious ceremonies, continuing centuries-old traditions of Russian Orthodox worship within its consecrated walls.

Visitors can reach the church through the Krasnoselskaya Metro station, with additional information available on the official website at st-alexis.ru.

The church survived the 1930s demolition period that affected many religious buildings, including its neighboring Exaltation of the Cross Church within the same convent complex.
