Alexander Nevsky Russian Orthodox Church

The Alexander Nevsky Russian Orthodox Church is a small but historically important religious building in Hankou, Wuhan, China. Constructed around the 1870s by Russian missionaries, it stands as the oldest surviving Russian Orthodox Church outside of the Russian Federation. While relatively modest in size compared to typical churches, it embodies the traditional architectural style of Russian Orthodox churches. The church is currently undergoing renovation, both externally and internally. Its exterior is distinguished by a prominent cross, serving as a key identifier. Visitors note its architectural similarities to churches found in Ukrainian cities like Kiev, Lviv, Kharkiv, and Poltava.
