North River Terminal, Passenger ship terminal in Levoberezhny District, Moscow, Russia.

The North River Terminal stands on the Khimki Reservoir, not the Moskva River. Its 150-metre facade has a central three-arch portal leading to a tower with a 27-metre spire and a four-sided clock; two-storey galleries with 150 white Tarusa stone columns wrap the wings, and a rounded rotunda projects at one end.

Construction began in spring 1933 alongside the Moscow-Volga Canal and lasted four years and eight months, using Dmitrovlag prisoners; the terminal opened in 1937. Architects Alexey Rukhlyadev and Vladimir Krinsky modeled it on the Doge's Palace in Venice. Its central tower and spire became a prototype for later river terminals in Krasnoyarsk and Nizhny Novgorod.

The 24 majolica medallions on the entrance columns, 1.5 m across, were made at the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory and hand-painted by ceramist Natalia Danko. Their subjects range from the Theatre of the Red Army and the Palace of Soviets to metro trains and the Soviet Arctic. The clock chimes in the tower were moved to Moscow from the Resurrection Cathedral in Volokolamsk.

The location is accessible on foot from the riverbank and offers views across the water and surrounding areas. Visitors should plan their visit during warmer months when river services operate regularly throughout the navigation season.

The clock mechanism in the tower carries chimes moved to Moscow from the Resurrection Cathedral in Volokolamsk. The gilded five-pointed star on the spire was made in 1935 with the first set of Kremlin stars but to its own design, and was first mounted here, not on the Spasskaya Tower.
