The gilded dome shines brightly, and its prominent location near the Lahn River in Bad Ems—albeit on the opposite side of the river from the city center—piques the curiosity of many a hiker or walker. Orthodox churches, i.e., churches of the various nationalities of the Eastern Church, can be seen from time to time in Germany, but they aren't that common. This church also welcomes visitors—something that isn't always the case (admission is 1 euro).

The sign on the entrance door indicates photography is prohibited, but the lady at the reception allowed me to take a photo from the door (a polite request is often better than simply ignoring such a ban, which happens all the time).

This church was built as a bathing church for the numerous Russian guests. There was also an English church, which has since been abandoned. The cruciform floor plan and five domes are typical of a Russian Orthodox church; the color blue symbolizes the wisdom of God. Inside, the iconostasis, the splendidly decorated partition between the room for the faithful and the room reserved only for the priest, shows the various patrons of the Orthodox Church. This also includes St. Alexandra, to whom the church is consecrated.

The spa town of Bad Ems was particularly popular with Russian guests in the 19th century. The St. The Russian Orthodox Church, consecrated to Alexandra, was built between 1874 and 1876.
