Church of Saint Nicholas in Preobrazhenskoye Cemetery

The Church of Saint Nicholas features tall windows, detailed stonework, and pointed arches characteristic of Russian pseudo-gothic architecture within a historical cemetery complex.

Built in 1801, the church became part of the St Nicholas Monastery following the imperial administration's confiscation of the male section of the monastery complex.

The temple serves multiple religious communities, with different sections allocated to Pomortsy Old Believers and the Russian Orthodox Church following the October Revolution.

The church complex maintains regular services and can be reached through public transportation routes connecting to central Moscow via Преображенский Вал street.

The church stands within a 41-acre cemetery that houses the first Eternal Flame monument in Moscow, commemorating World War II casualties.
