Alekseevsky Convent is a monastery complex in central Moscow featuring two preserved churches: the Church of Alexius and the Church of All Saints, distinguished by red brick walls and white stone ornaments. The complex underwent comprehensive restoration after returning to the Russian Orthodox Church in the 1990s and gained a chapel dedicated to a Mother of God icon.

Founded in 1358 by Metropolitan Alexius of Kiev, the monastery relocated twice before settling at its final location in Krasnoe Selo in 1837. These moves shaped how the buildings were arranged and what remains visible today.

The Church of All Saints displays a marble iconostasis in Russian-Byzantine style, crafted by artisans from the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. The space conveys religious devotion through its carefully designed details and ornamental work.

The complex is straightforward to visit and does not require special physical abilities. Wearing comfortable shoes helps, as does allowing time to look at the buildings and decorative details inside.

The complex houses sacred relics of Saints Philaret of Moscow, Tatiana, and Seraphim of Sarov within its restored walls. These relics draw pilgrims seeking to venerate these holy figures.
