St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Allison Park, Orthodox cathedral in Allison Park, United States.
St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is an Orthodox church with white walls and golden domes located in Allison Park. Its interior features an ornate iconostasis displayed above the sanctuary space that draws the eye upward.
The cathedral was founded in 1891 on Pittsburgh's North Side and moved to Allison Park during the 1960s as the city changed. Its current building opened in 1972 and has served the community since then.
The cathedral serves the Orthodox community through its traditional Russian iconostasis and observance of major feast days. These practices remain central to how the congregation gathers and worships today.
The cathedral is located along Guyton Road and welcomes visitors to its regular worship services. Those attending should observe respectful conduct and participate quietly during the service.
The iconostasis was crafted by a parishioner who brought personal artistry to the design and decoration. During services, Russian bells cast in the late 1900s ring throughout the building, creating a distinctive sound unique to this community.
