St. Alexander Nevsky Orthodox Cathedral
About

St. Alexander Nevsky Orthodox Cathedral in Łódź is one of the city’s most distinctive sacred landmarks, built between 1880 and 1884 as a gift from leading industrialists to the small but growing Orthodox community. Designed by Hilary Majewski, the temple stands near Łódź Fabryczna station, its octagonal plan and vivid Russian‑Byzantine style immediately recognisable. The façade glows with colourful stuccoes, polychromes and five golden onion domes, while the richly ornamented tower and portals highlight the grandeur associated with 19th‑century Orthodox architecture. Inside, the cathedral preserves an impressive oak iconostasis funded by Izrael Poznański, along with stained‑glass windows and decorative paintings that reflect both Russian and Byzantine artistic traditions. Today it serves as the cathedral of the Łódź‑Poznań diocese, remaining an active place of worship and a striking reminder of the city’s multicultural past.
