The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Yekaterinburg is the largest Orthodox church of the city. It was built in 1848 upon the project of the architect Malakhov. The temple consists of three chapels, the main of which is dedicated to Alexander Nevsky. The left chapel was consecrated in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, and the right one is named in celebration of the Resurrection of Christ.
In 1930, the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was closed to the Believers. During World War II it served as a military supply depot, and since 1961 it has been used for the needs of the local history museum. In 1991, the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was handed over to the Church, and it was consecrated again after the reconstruction in 2013.
