Russian Church
No, we did not leave Germany, we're still on top of the Neroberg in Wiesbaden. This is the Russian-Orthodox Church St. Elisabeth of Wiesbaden.It was built around 1855 by Duke Adolf von Nassau in honor of his wife, the russian princess Jelisaweta Michailowna (grandniece of Czar Alexander I and Czar Nikolaus I). She died in childbed (together with the child).

nice! the snow on the rooftops look great in the winter scene, very beautiful pic!
beautiful picture. The history of that building is a little sad though.
Lovely clear day.
I guess the russians were everywhere then :-) there's also a beautiful (kremlin style, colorful) russian church in Nice. It's under renovation right now, so if I can in the future...I'll take pictures and show you.
lovely picture..im in love with russia for some wierd reason, lol , and this pic is like the icing on the cake :)
No russian stuff here in India though :0
Thank you! I think in spring they send someone up to polish the roofs - they are usually even brighter and you can see them shining from far away on a sunny day.
Pamela - I agree the inside is even nicer. Unfortunately, I couldn't go inside (or didn't dare) since there was a ceremony going on... That will make a future photo though. Thanks for the tip!
