Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral - TALLINN, ESTONIA

The Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral, located in the Old Town of Tallinn, is the largest and most prominent Orthodox cathedral in Estonia. Designed by architect Mikhail Preobrazhensky in the Russian Revival style, the cathedral was constructed between 1894 and 1900, during the period when the country formed part of the Russian Empire.

Dominating the skyline from the hill of Toompea, the cathedral is dedicated to Saint Alexander Nevsky, who famously defeated the Teutonic Knights in the Battle of the Ice in 1242. Set in Northern Europe, the building stands at a crossroads of history, politics, and faith. After years of neglect during the Soviet era, the cathedral has been meticulously restored following Estonia’s regained independence in 1991, reclaiming its place as a defining landmark of the city.
