Alexander Nevsky Church and the Park Aloye Pole (Red field)
The construction of the Alexander Nevsky Church began in Chelyabinsk in 1881 after the assassination of Emperor Alexander II, and dragged on for many years. In 1907 the project was started again. As a result, the church in the Russian-Byzantine style appeared in the city in 1916. But in 14 years the temple was closed and the domes and bells removed.
During the Soviet era the Alexander Nevsky Church was used for different purposes: as a printing house, a warehouse and even a planetarium. In the 80s the temple was well repaired, and the organ hall was opened here. Today the temple was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church, and the pipe organ dismantled. In the church one can admire elegant sculptures, a panel of marble, jasper and green marble, listen to the sound of nine bells and have a walk the Park Aloye Pole next to the church.
