Alexander Nevsky Cathedral
Собор Александра Невского
One of the city's earliest brick buildings, a red-brick Byzantine Revival church with a golden dome, standing near the Ob River.
Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was built between 1896 and 1899 and is one of Novosibirsk's first masonry buildings. It was built to commemorate the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and it is styled in red-brick Byzantine Revival with a large golden dome on top. In the Soviet period it was used as a film studio and archive. It was returned to the church in the 1990s and restored, and its interior murals are beautiful. It stands at the south end of Krasny Prospekt near the Ob River. Admission is free, and women are advised to bring a headscarf.
