Saint Alexander Nevsky church in Suzdal, Eastern Orthodox church in Suzdal, Russia

Saint Alexander Nevsky Church is a brick church built in the early 20th century on the right bank of the Kamenka River in Suzdal's Mikhali district. Its cross-shaped plan is covered with kokoshniks, window surrounds, brick patterns, cornices and columns, and topped by a small wide tent roof with a tiny onion dome on a painted drum.

The brick church was built in the early 20th century on the right bank of the Kamenka River, near where the Mzhara flows into it. It is the only surviving church in Suzdal in the Russian style; the other, the 1882 Sretenskaya refectory church in the Rizopolozhensky Monastery, did not survive the Soviet years. Abandoned in the Soviet period, it was restored in the early 21st century and enclosed with the nearby bell tower and the churches of Michael the Archangel and Florus and Laurus.

The church stands in the Mikhali district, also called Mikhailova Storona, on the right bank of the Kamenka. Its name recalls Alexander Nevsky, and the neighbouring bell tower with the churches of Michael the Archangel and Florus and Laurus forms one ensemble with it. Across the river lies the Mikhailovsky meadow, for centuries used as pasture, enclosed by a wooden fence open only on the river's north side.

The grounds are accessible during daytime hours and attract visitors especially on Sundays and during major Orthodox celebrations. It is advisable to dress respectfully and enter the religious spaces with consideration.

The church is the only surviving Russian Revival building in Suzdal; the other, the 1882 Refectory Church of the Presentation in the Robe Deposition Monastery, was demolished in the Soviet years. Its cross-shaped brick volume is crowned by a small wide tent roof with a tiny onion dome on a painted drum.
