Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Novosibirsk, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Novosibirsk, Russia.
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is an Eastern Orthodox place of worship in Novosibirsk, Russia. The red brick building rises with several onion domes, tall bell towers, and facades shaped by Byzantine Revival design.
The church took shape between 1899 and 1915 as the first stone house of worship in the city. It served other purposes for part of the mid-20th century before returning to use as a cathedral.
The cathedral functions as the principal Eastern Orthodox religious center in Novosibirsk, where congregants gather for regular services and religious celebrations.
Visitors should wear simple and modest clothing, including covered shoulders and long trousers. Services take place regularly, so coming outside these times may offer a quieter experience.
The building originally stood at the edge of town, where few people lived. Today the structure sits in the center, surrounded by modern streets and residential neighborhoods.
