Cathedral of Alexander Nevsky

Cathedral of Alexander Nevsky
Ukraine, Kamianets-Podilskyi
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was founded in 1891 in the neo-Byzantine style on the 100th anniversary of the entry of Podolia into the Russian Empire. The cathedral, one of the most beautiful temples in Kamenetz-Podolsk, was equipped with steam heating, and the total cost of construction amounted to 100 thousand rubles, which were collected by the Alexander Nevsky guardianship among the townspeople. Among the donations to the cathedral was a cross donated by Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, wife of Nicholas II. In 1930-32, the building of the temple was dismantled into bricks. At the end of 1991, it was decided to restore the cathedral, in 2011 it was consecrated, currently it is the Cathedral of St. Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. With a relatively small size, due to the combination of multi-level volumes, emphasized by the jagged completion of the corners of the building, the cathedral creates the impression of a massive and, at the same time, light structure.

Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is located in the center of the city of Kamenetz-Podolsk. This is the main functioning Orthodox church in Kamyanets-Podilskyi. The cathedral in neo-Byzantine style was built in 1893. The temple was built on public funds collected by the Alexander Nevsky guardianship. The building is impressive in its grandeur. You can attend worship.

I have been to Kamenetz-Podolsky several times before. I really like this city. But if in the past I preferred to walk around the Old Town and the fortress, this time I decided to explore the New Town, which is located behind the bridge. A very beautiful Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was a discovery for me. The majestic Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is the main Orthodox church in Kamenetz-Podolsky. The neo-Byzantine-style cathedral was built in 1893 in honor of the 100th anniversary of the annexation of Podolia to Russia.
