The St. Alexander Nevsky Church is a Russian Orthodox church in the city of Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. The church is cruciform and constructed of fired brick. It features a wooden dome under a tin roof and has a capacity for 350 worshipers. The Church of "Holy Blessed Grand Prince Alexander Nevsky" was established in 1882 . In 1918 the church was deconsecrated and used as a warehouse on the military base. It was returned to the church in 1989 but required extensive renovations, including reopening two bricked-in doorways, replacement of the roof, replastering and repainting of icons on the interior, reconstruction of the bell tower and domes, and replacement of the iconostasis, which had disappeared. The church was reconsecrated in November 1993.
