Saint Nicholas' Church, Eastern Orthodox church building in Huangpu District, China.

The brick church building at 16 Gaolan Road exhibits typical Orthodox architectural elements, including traditional religious artwork and detailed decorations across its interior spaces.

Constructed in 1932 for White Russian refugees from the 1917 revolution, the church received consecration in 1937 to honor Saint Nicholas, patron of Russian Emperor Nicholas II.

The structure represents the presence of Russian Orthodox traditions in Shanghai, serving as a central point for religious practices within the expatriate community until 1949.

The building, which received protection status in 1994, currently houses different establishments, including a coffee bar named Kinloch Coffee on its premises.

During the 2010 Shanghai Expo, the church loft underwent reconsecration, permitting the resumption of Russian Orthodox religious services in this historical structure.
