Chapelle du tsarévitch Nicolas Alexandrovitch, Orthodox memorial chapel in Nice, France.

The chapel features neo-Byzantine architecture with traditional Russian ecclesiastical elements, designed by architect David Grimm in white stone and decorative details.

Tsar Alexander II commissioned the chapel's construction in 1867 after his son, Tsarevich Nicolas Alexandrovitch, died at Villa Bermond in Nice in 1865.

The structure represents the strong Russian presence in Nice during the 19th century and maintains its status as an active Russian Orthodox religious site.

The chapel stands near the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Nicolas, with both buildings classified as French historical monuments since August 11, 1987.

The chapel sits precisely on the location of the room where Tsarevich Nicolas Alexandrovitch spent his final moments in Villa Bermond.
