St Serafim of Sarov's Church

St Serafim of Sarov's Church (January 2009)

Immediately next to the war memorial and Aleksandrov-1 Railway Station is St Serafim of Sarov's Church.  The church was completed in 1904 and became one of the first church dedicated to St Serafim who was only canonised in the previous year.  However the church was closed in 1928 and virtually destroyed.  Only in 2007 was the church reopened after undergoing extensive restoration work.  Although it now looks undeniably new, it is nevertheless rather pretty.
