The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was built in 1895. A Luther memorial was originally planned for the location on Toompea, but the Russian authorities prohibited it from being erected, so today the Russian Orthodox Cathedral stands here.

The large and richly decorated in historical mixture style Christian Orthodox Church was completed in 1900 on the Toompea Hill, at the time Estonia was part of the Tsar Empire. The well-preserved cathedral is Tallinn's most generous example of Christian Orthodox sacred architecture. In the towers of the church is Tallinn's most powerful church bells ensemble. It consists of 11 bells, including Tallinn's largest 15-tonne bell. The whole carillon of the ensemble can be heard before the services. The decorated with mosaics and icons interior is worth the visit.

Probably the most beautiful church is the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, which was only built in the late 19th century.
