Framed by tall trees that inhabit the church's park, the Alexander Church stands as a prime example of neo-gothic architecture in the midst of Tampere. The name comes from Tsar Alexander II, who celebrated the 25th anniversary of his reign when the foundation stone of the church was laid in 1880. A dramatic, long spire extends from the church's facade that features circular windows and decorative columns. In the past, the church has undergone through two large restoration processes, the latter of which returned the original colors to the church hall in 1980. Notable features in the church's interiors include the ornate altarpiece painted by Aleksandra Sålt in 1883, and delicate motifs on the second floor of the church that were inscribed by artist Antti Salmenlinna.
