The Alexander Nevsky Church (, ) is an orthodox church in the Haapsalu old cemetery, Estonia. It was built to a design by Alexander Krasovsky in a typical Russian Revival style between 1896 and 1897, during the period when the country was part of the Russian Empire. It is dedicated to Saint Alexander Nevsky who in 1242 won the Battle of the Ice on Lake Peipus, in the territorial waters of present-day Estonia. The late Estonian Metropolitan, Cornelius (Jakobs), started his priestly ministry in the church. Read more on Wikipedia
