Saint Alexander Nevsky Church is an Eastern Orthodox church in the Naujininkai district of Vilnius, designed by architect Mikhail Prozorov and completed in 1898. Built of brick in Russian-Byzantine and Russian Revival styles, the church was dedicated to its patron saint, Alexander Nevsky. Closed by Soviet authorities in 1959, the building suffered significant interior damage during its decades of disuse. Following Lithuania's independence in 1991, the structure was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church, though restoration of its devastated interior delayed its reopening until 2012. It now operates under the Russian Orthodox Diocese of Lithuania.
