Stāmeriena Church of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky

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

Stameriena is a locality not far from Gulbene. The Orthodox Parish was established here in 1850. In 1904 a new stone church was built 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, thanks to the efforts of local church-goers, restoration works began. The first church service was held on 3 December 1995.
