Alexander_Nevsky_Cathedral,_Paris--Gerard_Depardieu

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (French: Cathédrale Saint-Alexandre-Nevsky, Russian: Собор Святого Александра Невского, romanized: Sobor Svyatogo Aleksandra Nyevskogo) is a Russian Orthodox cathedral church located at 12 Rue Daru in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. It was established and consecrated in 1861, making it the first Russian Orthodox place of worship in France. It was constructed in part through a gift of 200,000 francs from Tsar Alexander II. Under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate from 1931 as a consequence of the Russian Revolution, the parish retroceded to the Moscow Patriarchate in 2019, becoming the see of the Archdiocese of Russian Orthodox Churches in Western Europe. The cathedral should not be confused with Holy Trinity Orthodox Cathedral, which is a provincial cathedral of the Patriarchal Exarchate in Western Europe (Moscow Patriarchate).
