Moscowian Saints Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

The Moscowian Saints Church is a five-domed Orthodox church at the corner of Gorky and Korolenko streets, built in the pseudo-Russian style with plastered and whitewashed facades, a green roof and cupolas, and oak crosses sheathed in white iron. Inside, three pine iconostases with linden-wood carving stand before altars; the walls and vaults carry frescoes of the Moscow hierarchs and Diveyevo saints, painted in 2008–2010 after 15th–16th-century Moscow models.

In 1856 the deans of Nizhny Novgorod requested a church for the fast-growing southeastern district, where over 200 houses had appeared. Bishop Jeremiah consecrated a cross on 5 October, the feast of the three Moscow metropolitans, fixing the dedication. Emperor Alexander II approved the design on 25 June 1858; Bishop Anthony laid the foundation on 3 May 1859, and Bishop Nektary consecrated the church on 11 December 1860. Closed in 1930 and used as a dormitory, it was returned to the monastery in 1997 and reconsecrated on 11 June 2004.

The church is named for five Moscow metropolitans — Peter, Alexius, Jonah, Philip and Hermogenes — not a pair. Its main altar was consecrated to the first three on 11 December 1860, and the dedication was fixed when Bishop Jeremiah blessed a cross on the site on 5 October, the day of the three Moscow metropolitans. The west wall shows the Diveyevo saints Pelagia, Paraskeva, Maria, Alexandra, Martha and Helena.

The site sits near central Korolenko Street and is easy to reach on foot. Regular Orthodox services take place throughout the year, so visitors should check timing to avoid disrupting worship.

The building maintains a historical connection to the Serafimo-Diveyevsky Monastery, an important pilgrimage site in Russian Orthodox tradition. This link makes it a noteworthy stop for those exploring networks of sacred places.
