St. Alexander Nevsky Church, Eastern Orthodox church building in Naujininkai district, Vilnius, Lithuania.
St. Alexander Nevsky Church is a brick church combining Russian Revival and Russian-Byzantine architectural styles, featuring symmetrical towers and traditional Orthodox design elements throughout its structure. The building blends these architectural traditions through its distinctive layout and decorative details on the facade and roof.
The building was constructed in 1898 following architect Mikhail Prozorov's design to strengthen Orthodox presence in Vilnius. Soviet times brought closure, but comprehensive restoration after 2012 returned the structure to its original state.
The church serves the local Orthodox community as a place for daily prayers and religious ceremonies following Eastern Orthodox traditions. It shapes the spiritual life of the Russian Orthodox population in Vilnius through regular services and rituals.
The church can be approached on foot and remains open for visitors wanting to explore its interior spaces. Information about services and visiting hours is available through the website magdala.lt, making it easy to plan your visit.
In 1937, a female monastery dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene was integrated into the church complex, leading to the addition of new gardens and structural modifications. This expansion continues to shape the overall character of the site today.
