Church of Saint Nicholas in Tolmachy

The brick church features five copper-covered domes above its main structure and contains the side chapel dedicated to the Protection of the Virgin Mary.

Initially constructed as a wooden structure in 1625, the church received its stone building in 1697 through funding from merchant Longin Dobrynin.

The church maintains dual functions as both a Russian Orthodox place of worship and a museum section of the State Tretyakov Gallery since 1993.

The church opens its doors to visitors through the State Tretyakov Gallery entrance, with regular services held on Sundays and religious holidays.

The building houses the revered Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, considered one of the most important religious artifacts in Russian Orthodox tradition.
