Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (Fictional)
The main orthodox Cathedral for the fictional city of Ingsvall, located in north Eastern Europe. The cathedral represents a Russian revivalist style, that was used widely in the Russian empire from the late 19th centry up untill the Russian revolution.
These kinds of churches were a very common sight in the Russian colonies of Eastern Europe. Since due to the Russification policies quite many new orthodox churches were built to dominate the skylines of several Eastern European cities. Most notably, Helsinki, Tallinn, and Warsaw. Where orthodox Cathedrals were erected in honour of the Russian Tšars, hence the name "Alexander Nevsky".
This Cathedral is based on the St. Pantaleon church in Kiev. It is not an exact copy, and there is some differences. But it is still pretty much the same.
Due to it’s medium size, this church is perfect for small towns, and big cities alike. It can also be used in quite many western cities, like Paris as the Holy Trinity Cathedral.
