St. Nicholas Church, Orthodox church in Shatursky District, Russia.
St. Nicholas Church in Serednikovo is a stone Orthodox church built in 1882, with a bell tower added in 1849. It has side chapels dedicated to the Savior on the right and to the icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow" on the left. The building was closed in 1937 and used as a garage and fertilizer warehouse before restoration began in 2004.
A wooden church dedicated to St. Nicholas was built here in 1798 and burned down in 1822. It was rebuilt in 1836 to a design by the architect Boldeman, and a bell tower followed in 1849. The present stone church replaced it in 1882, with side chapels of the Saviour and of the icon 'Joy of All Who Sorrow'. Closed in 1937, it served as a state-farm garage and later a fertiliser store; restoration began in 2004 and the first liturgy was held in 2005.
The church actively serves the local community through regular Orthodox services and special celebrations dedicated to Saint Nicholas throughout the year. These gatherings bring together believers who come to practice traditional religious customs and observe important feast days.
The church is open to visitors during daytime hours, with services held on Sundays and major Orthodox feast days. Plan a visit during weekends if you want to experience the services firsthand.
