Stāmeriena church of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky. – Gulbene Municipality, Vecstāmeriena. 

Stāmeriena is a locality not far from Gulbene. The Orthodox parish was established there in 1850. In 1904 a new stone church was built in order to replace the old dilapidated one. It was consecrated by archbishop Agafangel. In the 1960’s the church was closed and turned into a storehouse for agricultural machinery. In the 1990’s, due to the efforts of local church-goers, the restoration works began. The first church service was held there on 3rd of December 1995.
