Church of St. Nicholas in Khamovniki

The Church of Saint Nicholas presents a traditional five-domed structure built from red bricks with white stone decorations and green-red tiles on the roof.

The construction of the current church building started in 1679 under Tsar Feodor Alekseevich and was completed in 1682 for local weavers and craftsmen.

The interior maintains nineteenth-century decorations, including classical-style iconostases in the refectory and ancient memorial plates on the northern wall.

Regular Orthodox services take place every Sunday morning, with additional weekday services, confession sessions, and religious education classes throughout the week.

The bell tower of the church exhibits a noticeable tilt, making it part of the few leaning ecclesiastical structures in Moscow.
