Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Łódź
Sobór św. Aleksandra Newskiego
An Orthodox church in the Byzantine Revival style, completed in 1884, with onion domes and beautifully painted iconostasis.
This Orthodox cathedral was funded by the city’s industrialists of various ethnic backgrounds to commemorate the failed assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1879. It has an octagonal plan and green onion domes, and its interior features a painted iconostasis and murals. It stands as a testament to Łódź’s religious diversity. It is located in Kilińskiego Street Park, about 5 minutes’ walk from Fabryczna railway station. Opening hours are limited, so visit during services or admire it from outside.
