St. Nicholas Orthodox church in Szczecin, Eastern Orthodox church in Stare Miasto, Szczecin, Poland.
St. Nicholas Orthodox Church is a brick and stone building designed in Neo-Byzantine style, measuring 26 meters long and 16 meters wide. The structure displays characteristic architectural features typical of this design tradition.
Construction of this church began in 2004 and finished in 2011, ending decades when the local Orthodox community worshipped in temporary spaces. The project arose from the community's need for a permanent place of worship.
The church holds a valuable collection of Lemko icons, works brought here to safeguard Orthodox religious heritage and tradition. These pieces reflect the spiritual identity of the local community.
The church is located in Stare Miasto and is easily accessible to visitors throughout the year. Regular services are held, and visitors should be respectful of ongoing religious practices when entering.
In 1997, several icons were stolen from the earlier worship location, but authorities successfully recovered them afterward. This loss and recovery shaped the community's journey.
