According to Polish Wikipedia, the brick church was built in 1900 as the Church of St Alexander Nevsky of the 5th Rifle Brigade stationed in Suwałki, a town of the Kingdom of Poland within the Russian Empire (the monument register dates the building to the mid-19th century). After 1918 the building passed to the Catholics and from 1923 was used by the military chaplaincy; it was rebuilt at that time. In 1944 the main tower was blown up, and in the 1958 rebuilding it was replaced by two new towers at the corners of the façade.
По данным польской Википедии, кирпичный храм построен в 1900 году как церковь Александра Невского 5-й стрелковой бригады, стоявшей в Сувалках — городе Царства Польского в составе Российской империи (реестр памятников датирует здание серединой XIX века). После 1918 года здание перешло католикам, с 1923 года им пользовалось военное духовенство; тогда же его перестроили. В 1944 году главная башня была взорвана, при перестройке 1958 года её заменили две новые башни по углам фасада.
