St. Nicholas Monastery Complex, Mahilioŭ, Orthodox monastery complex in Mahilioŭ, Belarus.

The St. Nicholas Monastery Complex features two main churches with a three-nave basilica design, including an octahedral tambour and bulbous central cupola.

Metropolitan Peter Mogila obtained permission from King Władysław IV in 1637 to construct the first wooden church, replaced by a stone structure between 1669-1672.

The monastery contains a four-tier iconostasis created by Mogilev craftsmen in the 17th century, featuring work by master carver Klim Mikhailov.

The monastery maintains regular religious services, houses an Orthodox youth choir, and operates a Sunday school for the local community.

Emperor Nicholas II and his family attended services in this cathedral while the Supreme Command Headquarters operated in Mahilioŭ during World War I.
