Alexandra was born in Darmstadt and married to Nicolas II, the last tsar before the Russian Revolution. Therefore, Nicolas II had a Russian Orthodox church built in 1897 so that he could still go to mass on holiday at his mother-in-law's house in Darmstadt. The remarkable thing about it is that he had soil brought from Russia by train, as if German soil was not good enough. A very beautiful building, indeed. Little is known about his mother-in-law.
Greetings from Darmstadt,
