The St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Tallinn is the main church of the Estonian Orthodox Church under the Moscow Patriarchate. Built between 1894 and 1900 on Toompea Hill, it is the largest domed church in Estonia, richly decorated both inside and outside. The cathedral houses three altars, magnificent iconostases, bells from St. Petersburg, and colorful stained-glass windows. Its construction is seen as a symbol of Russian imperial russification, which makes the cathedral a controversial landmark for some Estonians. Although its demolition was considered during the interwar period, the cathedral survived. After the restoration of independence in 1991, it was renovated.
