Saint Alexander church in Suwałki, Catholic church building in Suwałki, Poland.

The church features a cruciform plan with a brick structure, incorporating three pairs of Tuscan columns and two bell towers rising above the facade.

During World War II, this church remained the sole Roman Catholic worship place in Suwałki, until German forces damaged its towers in 1944.

The church contains multiple altarpieces transferred from Wigry monastery, displaying a mix of Classicist and Baroque Revival interior elements from the 19th century.

Located on Emilii Plater Street at Marshal Józef Piłsudski Square, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors throughout the week.

The structure transformed from a wooden Church of the Holy Cross in 1710 to its current masonry form, completed between 1820 and 1829.
