Marvelous! A landmark in Tallin, country where religion was so overwhelmed by the communists.

I was lucky to watch messes, peaceful as I have never felt before. Estonians ar3 very polite and a moment of reflexion is needed when traveling overseas.

Don’t miss it!

Extremely beautiful cathedral in a fantastic city. Came during easter ceremonies, which was accessible to tourists, impressive and holy experience with 20 men in full dress singing.

A classical orthodox cathedral built between 1894 and 1900. At the beginning during the “russification" period it was disliked by many Estonians and was seen as a symbol of oppression, the Estonian authorities scheduled the cathedral for demolition in 1924, but the decision was never implemented.

Was very beautiful. Very glad I had a chance to see it. The city is also very quaint. Recommend walking around. Went inside and watched a ceremony. Traditional and timeless.

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is an orthodox cathedral in the Tallinn Old Town, Estonia. It was built to a design by Mikhail Preobrazhensky in a typical Russian Revival style between 1894 and 1900, during the period when the country was part of the Russian Empire. The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is Tallinn's largest and grandest orthodox cupola cathedral. It is dedicated to Saint Alexander Nevsky who in 1242 won the Battle of the Ice on Lake Peipus, in the territorial waters of present-day Estonia. The late Russian patriarch, Alexis II, started his priestly ministry in the church.

1928 was a plan to pull down the Orthodox Cathedral of Tallinn but a better idea will be to rename this church as a Greek Catholic Church of Tallinn because actually Russian Orthodoxies doesn't exist because all the Orthodox are Greek Orthodoxies

A very nice and open orthodox cathedral just across from the Estonian parliament and castle. Still acts as a local church despite the location. Lots of nice paintings and icons around the church and some fantastic stained glass windows above the altar. Well worth a visit, take a seat and admire the art work.

St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

This spectacular, onion-domed structure perched atop Toompea Hill is Estonia's main Russian Orthodox cathedral. Built in 1900, when Estonia was part of the tsarists Russian empire, the cathedral was originally intended as a symbol of the empire's dominance – both religious and political – over this increasingly unruly Baltic territory. It's also by far the grandest, most opulent Orthodox church in Tallinn.

The cathedral was dedicated to the Prince of Novgorod, Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky, who led the famous Battle of the Ice at Lake Peipsi in 1242, which halted the German crusaders' eastward advance.
It was deliberately placed in this prominent location right in front of Toompea Castle, on the same spot where a statue of Martin Luther had previously stood. Now with the controversy long since faded, what's left is simply an architectural masterpiece. Designed by respected St. Petersburg architect Mikhail Preobrazhenski, the church is richly decorated in a mixed historicist style. The interior, filled with mosaics and icons, is well worth a visit.

The church's towers' hold Tallinn's most powerful church bell ensemble, consisting of 11 bells, including the largest in Tallinn, weighing 15 tonnes. You can hear the entire ensemble playing before each service.

Beautiful and peaceful cathedral. Please wear a scarf inside in respect to the local members. Many ignore the signs 😞

Beautiful church! Not allowed to take pictures inside the building. I understand this bit it's still frustrating. They had a pretty extensive gift shop with a lot of booklets, mostly in Russian or at least using the Cyrillic alphabet.
