Church of Saint Alexander Nevsky in Kobryn

The brick structure displays Neoclassical architecture with symmetrical proportions, grand columns, and precise geometric forms that characterize religious buildings of the period.

Built in 1868 by architect Ivan Kaliankievič, the church underwent transformation during Soviet times when authorities converted the religious space into a planetarium.

The church functions as an active center of Orthodox worship within the Brest-Kobryn Eparchy, where regular religious services maintain local spiritual traditions.

Located at coordinates 52.214281, 24.358506, the church welcomes visitors who can attend services or explore the architectural features of this heritage site.

The religious building carries the name of Alexander Nevsky, a 13th-century military leader who defended Russian territories and became a symbol of Orthodox faith.
