Russian Orthodox Church

The Russian Orthodox Church features five blue onion domes representing Christ and the four evangelists, along with a 40-meter bell tower and golden cupola.

Built between 1872 and 1874 by architects Harald Julius von Bosse and Karl Weissbach, the church served Russian ambassadors to the Kingdom of Saxony.

The interior contains Russian Orthodox icons more than 200 years old, reflecting the traditional Eastern Orthodox religious practices and artistic heritage.

The church operates under the Moscow Patriarchate jurisdiction at Fritz-Löffler-Straße 19, requiring advance arrangements for visits to the interior.

The church structure survived the 1945 bombing raids with minimal damage while surrounding buildings were destroyed, leading to restoration work in the 1990s.
