St. Alexeevsky Church
圣阿列克谢耶夫教堂
A Byzantine-style brick Orthodox church in Nangang District, now used as a Catholic church. Its architecture is delicate, and it sees far fewer visitors.
St. Alexeevsky Church was built in the 1930s on the Shike Street area of Nangang District by Russian emigrant Orthodox believers. Its red brick walls, green onion domes and bell tower are well preserved, and it is now used as a Catholic church. The small street it sits on is quiet. In winter, the red walls against the snow are especially photogenic, and there are far fewer people than at St. Sophia Cathedral. The exterior can be viewed for free. The interior is not always open outside of service times. It can be combined with a walk along Gogol Street.
