Church in honor of Saint Alexy Metropolitan of Moscow

After 50 years after the consecration, two more chapels were added to the Alekseevsky temple, in which later well-known enlighteners and ascetics who had previously rested in the Annunciation monastery in Nizhny Novgorod were buried. Graves were decorated with elegant fences of bronze with gilding, white marble slabs were installed over the crypts, on which epitaphs were carved.

After the revolution, the Alekseevsky temple was closed and transferred to the 17th Infantry Division along with other churches. In 1948, a planetarium was placed here, while demolishing small chapters, lowering the light drum in the center and destroying the eastern part of the wall along with the entrance gates and towers.

At the beginning of the XXI century, in accordance with the program "Ilyinskaya Sloboda", it was decided to restore and revive the Alekseevsky temple, and three years later, it was restored. Currently, the Alekseevsky Church is a vivid example of the skill of restorers, it again amazes everyone with its beauty and is almost the main decoration of Nizhny Novgorod.
