Church of Saint Nicholas in Schepy, Orthodox church in Arbat District, Russia.

The Church of Saint Nicholas in Schepy is a church building in the Arbat District with traditional Russian Orthodox architecture and design. The structure features ornate exterior facades decorated with religious artwork and carved details that define its physical presence in the neighborhood.

A wooden church dedicated to Saint Nicholas was built here in 1649 and burned later in the same century. Parishioners funded a stone church on the site in 1686. Badly damaged in the 1812 Moscow fire, it was rebuilt with donations, and a bell tower was added in 1813. Closed in 1934, it housed workshops and later a factory until its return to the church in 1993.

The name "na Shchepakh" comes from the Tsar's wood yard that once stood nearby, where logs were split into planks (shchepy) for palace buildings. The church keeps the Tabyinskaya Icon of the Mother of God and an icon of Saint Nicholas, and the surrounding Pervy and Vtoroy Nikoloshchepovsky lanes are named after it.

The church stands at the corner of Pervy Smolensky and Vtoroy Nikoloshchepovsky lanes, about 100 metres west of the Garden Ring and the Smolenskaya metro station on the Filyovskaya line. The main chapel is still being painted, so parts of the interior may be closed off.

The name "na Shchepakh" comes from the Tsar's wood yard that once stood nearby, where logs were split into planks (shchepy) for wooden palace buildings. The lanes around the church still carry its name: Pervy and Vtoroy Nikoloshchepovsky, while the former Third became Shlomin Passage in 1957.
