Eglise Alexandre Newsky

A house of worship that adheres to the Orthodox faith can be discovered right next to the Hotel du Palais in Biarritz, France. 

THINGS TO DO AT EGLISE ALEXANDRE NEWSKY:

• Discover the historical significance: 

At the same time that the decision to construct an Orthodox church was made, Biarritz, also known as the 'imperial city,' attracted all of the Russian aristocracies in the nineteenth century. In particular, members of the imperial family chose to use it as their preferred place of villégiature, coinciding with the city's rise to prominence as an imperial center. 

• Behold the exquisiteness that is embodied in the architectural mode:

The building's layout and construction are largely responsible for the fact that it can be observed from a considerable distance. The most striking characteristics are, without a doubt, the color as well as the dome that it possesses. The most hilarious part is how, as you approach it, the church gives the sense that it is getting smaller and smaller. 

• Both the inside and outside of the building are works of art in their own right:

In addition to the one-of-a-kind elegance of the exteriors, the gold icons located within are mind-blowing. It is decorated with icons from Saint Petersburg, giving a simple decompression.
