One of the surviving pre-revolutionary churches in Rostov-on-Don is the Church of St. Queen Alexandra, built in 1904 according to the design of the famous architect Popov. This magnificent stone church was erected in Nakhichevan-on-Don, which at that time was a separate city and became part of Rostov-on-Don in the 1920s.

The Church of St. Queen Alexandra, built in the Russian style, was constructed on the Orthodox cemetery of Nakhichevan-on-Don in place of a wooden chapel. Because of this, the size of the church is relatively small, about 18×13 meters. In 1910, a bell tower with a tented roof was added to the church, and later a narthex was attached from the west side. The church was affiliated with the Sofia Church, which may have helped it survive during the Soviet years. Today, it is included in the list of cultural heritage sites of regional significance.

The church has reached our days in a somewhat altered form. In 1955, a chapel in honor of St. Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky was added to the northern side, in memory of the destroyed Alexander Nevsky Church in Nakhichevan.

During the occupation of the city by German and Allied forces, fallen Orthodox Romanian soldiers were buried in the cemetery near the Alexandrian Church.

For the 1000th anniversary of the Baptism of Rus, the dome and tent of the church were gilded. Today, a Sunday school operates at the Alexandrian Church, and in 2002, a museum corner was created dedicated to Archpriest John Domovsky, who served at the Alexander Nevsky Church and was known for his miracles. The Alexandrian Church has miraculously survived and continues to serve as a place of worship.
