The church dates back to 19th century, making it the oldest Russian Orthodox church in the country.[1] The church was built in 1826 at the center of Alexandrowka settlement.[2]
The church was built for the Russian residents of the settlement of Alexandrowka, now part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin", below the Kapellenberg. Consecrated in 1826, it is still an active congregation and the oldest Russian Orthodox church in Germany.
