Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas

The Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas is a brick and stone structure at the corner of Berkley Street and Princes Road, featuring arches with alternating bands of white stone and red brick. The building is topped by several domes in the Byzantine style.

The church was designed by architects W. & J. Hay and built in the 1870s as an enlarged version inspired by a Byzantine church from Constantinople. It represents the Victorian interest in Neo-Byzantine style.

The church shares its neighborhood with other houses of worship from different faiths, reflecting the religious diversity that defined Victorian Liverpool. You can still sense this mix of communities when walking through the area today.

The church is located at a distinctive street corner and easy to spot from outside. Regular services are held here under the administration of the Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain.

The roof is topped by four domes arranged in different positions: three over the entrance area and one above the main body of the church. This arrangement creates a striking feature visible from multiple viewpoints.
