Храм Александра Невского в Куркине, Russian Revival church in Kurkino, Moscow, Russia.
The Alexander Nevsky Church in Kurkino is a Russian Revival church with three golden domes crowning its main structure and altar area. Its facade follows traditional Russian Orthodox architectural patterns with characteristic ornamental details and proportions.
Construction of this church began in 1995 under Patriarch Alexey II and was completed in 1996, initiated by Major General Alexander Semakin. Its creation took place during a period when many new religious buildings were being established across Russia.
The church is named after Alexander Nevsky, a revered saint in Russian Orthodoxy, representing deep spiritual significance for believers. It functions today as a gathering place where visitors come to participate in Orthodox traditions and prayer.
The church is open to visitors and holds regular services, primarily on Saturdays and Sundays. Visitors should keep in mind that this is an active place of worship where respectful behavior is expected.
The interior decorations were completed in 1999 by painter Vladimir Kalensky with assistance from military service members of a local unit. This unusual collaboration between artist and soldiers shaped the sanctuary's appearance and character.
