Russian church in Wiesbaden, built for the Duchess of Nassau

Located on Nero Hill in Wiesbaden, Germany...



As impressive as the story behind it, this Russian Orthodox church was built to mark the occasion of the early death of princess Elisabeth.  She was the niece of the Tsar Alexander and the grand duchess of Russia. She also became the duchess of Nassau by marriage to the German Duke of Nassau in 1844.  Wiesbaden was a popular resort in the 19th century and is still a very beautiful city today.  It is one of the most visited cities in the Rhein-Main area.   


Don't just stare from a distance.  Come and visit this historical yet modern city of elegance and prestigious charm. Approximately 30 min from the Frankfurt airport, this church should be on your visit agenda during your next long layover instead of waiting around at the boring airport....
