Church of Saint Nicholas on Bersenevka Street

The Church of Saint Nicholas features ornate brick architecture with detailed patterns and decorative elements characteristic of the Uzorochye style from the 17th century.

Constructed in 1657 during the Time of Troubles, the church remained standing through political changes and maintained its position as part of Averkiy Kirillov's Palace complex.

The structure represents Russian Orthodox architectural traditions and holds federal cultural heritage status, demonstrating the religious practices of medieval Moscow.

Located at Bersenevskaya Embankment numbers 18-20-22, the church stands near the Moskva River and connects to multiple transportation routes in central Moscow.

Written records trace the religious institution to 1390, predating the current structure by over 250 years and marking it among Moscow's earliest documented churches.
