St. Alexander's Church, Neoclassical church at Three Crosses Square, Warsaw, Poland
St. Alexander's Church is a church building at Three Crosses Square in Warsaw with a distinctive rotunda covered by a dome. The structure is supported by two columned porticos featuring Corinthian columns and triangular pediments, constructed entirely from brick.
Construction took place between 1818 and 1825 under architect Chrystian Piotr Aigner, who replaced a triumphal arch structure on the site. That arch had originally been dedicated to Tsar Alexander I of Russia.
The church displays religious artworks from the 19th century inside, including a painting by French artist Edgar Maxence of a saint. Visitors can admire these works while moving through the space and taking in the artistic surroundings.
The church is located at Three Crosses Square and is easily reached by visitors since it sits in a central area of the city. If you have special needs or require further information, you can contact the nearby parish offices for assistance.
The building suffered heavy damage during World War II but was carefully restored after 1949. During reconstruction, workers deliberately returned to the original neoclassical design and discarded a neo-renaissance style that had been briefly used.
