Narva Alexander’s Cathedral
The cathedral was built in 1881–1884 for the Lutheran workers of Krenholm Manufacturing Company, and it was designed by architect Otto Pius von Hippius from St. Petersburg.
In 1944, the bell tower along with a Walcker organ that was located there was destroyed. Today, the cathedral’s bell tower has been restored.
