Architect David Grimm designed the Russian Orthodox Church of Mary Magdalene in 1888. The church was built in 1886 by Czar Alexander III to honor his mother, Empress Maria Alexandrovna of Russia. It was designed in the traditional tented roof style popular in 16th- and 17th-century Russia, and includes seven distinctive, gilded onion domes. The church is located on the Mount of Olives, near the Garden of Gethsemane in East Jerusalem.
