The Alexander Nevsky Church in Potsdam is an active Orthodox church located on the site of the Russian settlement of Alexandrovka, which existed in the early 19th century. Several generations of Russian soldiers sent to Prussia during Peter I's reign lived here. The church in its current form was built in the late 1820s.
The church is under the care of the Berlin and German Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, which has allowed it to remain in excellent condition to this day. The last restoration took place in 1993. Today, the church stands out with its soft pink facade and a roof topped with four domes.
Services are held at the church every Saturday at 5:00 PM and on Sunday at 10:00 AM. Tourists are welcome to visit the church freely, although charitable donations are appreciated.
