An amazing building. This orthodox church has lavish, decorations, wonderful icons, and beautiful architecture . There are ladies constantly cleaning the building and the artworks and many devotional people praying and lighting candles. A beautiful place to visit.

An absolutely beautiful structure that is on the top of the historical town hill. Take a look inside and you will not be disappointed. It is a very historical place, it was built in memory of the survival of Alexander III of Russia in the train disaster. Later on, Nicholas II would visit the cathedral. The first patriarch of post-Soviet Russia Alexy II was also part of this church.

Our first morning walk up Toompea Hill and we find Alexander Nevsky Cathedral which is very impressive. Built between 1894 and 1900, it was designed by Mikhail Preobrazhensky in the Russian Revival style and is is dedicated to Alexander Nevsky, a grand prince of Kiev who became a saint after winning the Battle of the Ice in 1242. It has a richly decorated interior, including mosaics and icons, and its eleven bells, the largest of which weighs about 16 ton.

Absolutely stunning church right next to the parliament. Its on a hill overlooking the city and has nearby refreshment stands and nice parks to enjoy the view. Be sure to go in if its open, as it is free and beautiful. However, no photos allowed inside.

Spectacular interior and towers above the city. There is a significant population in Tallinn and this is evidence of their presence & wealth. There was even the only Rolls Royce parked in front of the church! There is a second Russian Orthodox Church near the town square. Go see that one too if time permits.
