St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Howell, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Howell Township, United States.
St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is an Eastern Orthodox place of worship featuring Byzantine Revival design elements. The grounds contain multiple structures spread across about 30 acres near Alexander Avenue in the township.
Archbishop Vitaly Maksimenko founded the parish in 1936 on land donated by Yulia Martinovna Plavskaya. The main cathedral building took decades to complete, with construction finishing in 1997.
The parish operates a school where children learn about Orthodox traditions and the Russian language. These educational programs help families pass on their heritage and customs to younger generations.
The location is accessible via Alexander Avenue in a quiet residential neighborhood. Visitors should check service times in advance, as schedules may vary throughout the year.
The interior walls display Byzantine-style frescoes painted by Father Andrew Erastov and his students between 1995 and 2001. These handpainted murals depict religious scenes that are traditional in Orthodox churches.
