Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Kamianets-Podilskyi

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Kamianets-Podilskyi, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ukraine.

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is a brick Orthodox church in Kamianets-Podilskyi built in Neo-Byzantine style, with a large central dome and four smaller half-domes at the sides. A small bell tower stands over the western entrance. Inside, a two-tiered iconostasis by Moscow master Nikolai Akhapkin separates the nave from the three altars: the main one dedicated to Alexander Nevsky, the southern to Saint Catherine, and the northern to Saint Nicholas.

The cornerstone was laid on 2 May 1891, funded by public donations collected by the Alexander Nevsky trusteeship, and the cathedral was consecrated on 24 November 1897. In the 1930s the Soviet authorities dismantled it for bricks. The city returned the site to the diocese in 1994, and after reconstruction Metropolitan Volodymyr consecrated the rebuilt cathedral on 12 September 2011.

The main altar honours Alexander Nevsky, the south altar Saint Catherine and the north altar Saint Nicholas. A two-tier iconostasis by Moscow master Nikolai Akhapkin stood inside, and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna donated a cross. In the early 20th century the Alexander Nevsky Brotherhood ran a public reading room and library at the church.

The cathedral welcomes visitors throughout the day and hosts regular religious services for the community. It is best to check opening hours before visiting, especially if you wish to attend a service.

The two-tiered iconostasis was made by Moscow master Nikolai Akhapkin, a second-guild merchant who owned an icon-painting workshop and later a factory of iconostasis products, "Akhapkin and Son". Among the donations was a cross sent by Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, wife of Nicholas II.
