Chapel of Alexandra Pavlovna in Üröm

Chapel of Alexandra Pavlovna in Üröm, Eastern Orthodox chapel in Üröm, Hungary.

The Chapel of Alexandra Pavlovna is a Neoclassical Orthodox burial chapel in Üröm, built by 1803 on the estate of Palatine Joseph. Its brick walls and central dome shelter a crypt where the remains of Grand Duchess Alexandra Pavlovna were reinterred in 2004. A memorial plaque at the main entrance marks the building as a historic monument.

Alexandra Pavlovna, daughter of Tsar Paul I, married Archduke Joseph, Palatine of Hungary, in 1799 and died in 1801, aged 17, from childbirth complications. Her burial chapel on the Palatine's estate at Üröm was completed in 1803 and consecrated on 31 August 1803 by her confessor Andrei Samborsky. In 1809 Joseph had the coffin moved to Buda Castle for safety during Napoleon's advance, then returned it. The chapel was restored between 2002 and 2006, and her remains were reburied in its crypt on 11 September 2004.

The chapel is a pilgrimage site for the Pest-Buda Orthodox community, and a memorial liturgy for Grand Duchess Alexandra Pavlovna is held every Saturday after the 10 a.m. Divine Liturgy. In 2004, Russia's ambassador Valery Musatov presented a copy of her portrait to the chapel.

The chapel is accessible by regular bus services from Budapest to the town. Visitors should contact the local tourism office to confirm opening times and arrange any guided visits.

In April 1981, thieves broke into the crypt, severed Alexandra Pavlovna's arms and took them with jewellery and garments; police later recovered the arms and jewels intact. The remains were then moved to the palatine crypt of Buda Castle, returning to Üröm only on 11 September 2004, when Bishop Hilarion led the reburial.
