Pravoslavný chrám svatého Mikuláše v Mikulově, Orthodox church in Mikulov, Czech Republic
The Church of Saint Nicholas is an Orthodox church with neogothic architecture featuring a four-sided tower adorned with decorative plaster work and brick elements. The structure combines historical architectural forms with handcrafted details that define its exterior.
The church was originally built in 1903 for German Evangelical worshippers and underwent significant transformation after World War II. It came into the hands of the Brno Orthodox Church in 1988 and has served as an Orthodox place of worship since then.
The interior displays early Christian paintings created by artist Joža Úprka and later restored following Orthodox traditions. These artworks shape the spiritual character of the space and reflect the cultural heritage of the congregation.
The church stands at Nádražní 27 on the southwestern edge of Mikulov, close to the railway station. It is a single-nave building entered through the frontage dominated by a square tower. The former road-widening scheme that threatened the building was dropped and the structure was reinforced instead.
The church was built in 1903 for Mikulov's German Evangelicals on the initiative of merchant Josef Johann Kreiml, with most costs covered by the Gustav Adolf Foundation. After 1945 the building fell into disrepair, and the Czech Brethren Evangelical Church only gained official ownership in 1958.
