Alexander Nevsky Chapel, Akutan
St. Alexander Nevsky Chapel (Russian: Часовня Святого Александра Невского) is a historic Russian Orthodox church chapel in Akutan, Alaska, United States.
It was built in 1918 as a replacement for an 1878 building, reusing much of the same lumber. The chapel served the Russian Orthodox community in the trading port of Akutan and is now part of the Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America.
In 1980, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
