@agalaxyyy: THE THIRD tallest church in Russia — Church of Alexander Nevsky in Nizhny Novgorod ⛪️🇷🇺☦️ @Sasha from Russia🪆 The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Nizhny Novgorod (built 1868–1881) is a massive 87-meter (285 ft) landmark located on the “Strelka” (spit) where the Oka and Volga rivers meet. It is famous for being built on a unique floating wooden raft foundation to handle swampy soil and for hosting a massive “Cathedral Bell”. Secret History: After the Russian Revolution, it was closed and used for storage, and its wooden decor was unfortunately used for firewood.
