Karksi-Nuia Orthodox Church
The Orthodox church of St Alexius in Karksi-Nuia was designed in 1868 by architect Apollon Edelson, whose same plan was used for the Orthodox churches at Kalli, Uduvere and Vändra. Built by the Riga merchant Lomonosov at a cost of 12,000 roubles, it was finished in 1876 and consecrated by Bishop Filaret of Riga and Mitau in honour of Metropolitan Alexius of Moscow. The rectangular church has a projecting west bell tower, square below and polygonal above, with round-arched and round windows under a tin spire.

Karksi-Nuia Aleksei õigeusu kiriku projekteeris 1868. aastal arhitekt Apollon Edelson, kelle sama projekti järgi ehitati ka Kalli, Uduvere ja Vändra õigeusu kirik. Riia kaupmehe Lomonossovi ehitatud ja 12 000 rubla maksnud kirik valmis 1876. aastal ning Riia ja Miitavi piiskop Filaret pühitses selle Moskva metropoliidi Aleksei auks. Ristkülikukujulisel kirikul on läänes eenduv kellatorn, alt ruudukujuline ja ülalt hulknurkne, ümarkaarsete ja ümarate akendega plekk-kiivri all.
