The Church of Saint Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky, located in the city of Oboyan, Kursk region, at 26 Lunacharsky Street, is an Orthodox church and a monument of regional architectural significance.

Its construction began on May 19, 1891, at Alexander Nevsky Square in the city of Oboyan. The laying of the church was performed by Bishop Justin of Kursk and Belgorod in memory of the salvation of the Imperial family during the train crash on October 17, 1888. Funds for the construction came from local merchants, but due to a lack of money, the work progressed slowly and was sometimes halted. The project by architect Vladimir Grigorievich Slesarev was completed in 1906 or 1907, but the iconostasis appeared only in 1914 thanks to fundraising. The church installed a carved wooden iconostasis with icons of the Savior, the Mother of God, and John the Baptist. The main altar was adorned with a four-tiered iconostasis with five crosses, and the royal gates were gilded. The southern and northern altars housed altars with three-tiered iconostases.

Initially, the Church of Alexander Nevsky was affiliated with the Holy Trinity Cathedral, whose rector, Archpriest V. I. Kovalevsky, actively participated in its construction. However, on July 9, 1917, the townspeople appealed to Bishop Theophan with a request to create an independent parish, pledging to install three stoves and support the clergy. On October 16, 1917, the parish was opened, and the priest became Ioann Popov.

In 1922, during the campaign to seize church valuables, 20 items weighing a total of 27 pounds were confiscated from the church, including silver vessels and crosses. In the 1930s, the church was closed and looted, and the building was used as a warehouse. By 1956, the main dome had been partially dismantled, and crosses remained only on two small domes. The entrances and windows were bricked up, and the facade entrance was destroyed. There were attempts to demolish the church in the 1950s and 1970s. In 1962, it was proposed to reconstruct the building into a Palace of Culture, but work only began in 1984, after which a youth club called 'Fakel' opened there. In 1991, the church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church and was consecrated again on June 12, and the parish was registered on December 17.
