General information about Saint Nicolas Church (Novhorod-Siverskyi)

The Saint Nicolas Church in Novhorod-Siverskyi is a remarkable work of carpentry art of the Chernihiv school of wooden folk architecture of the 18th century.

The first church in honor of Saint Nicholas was built in 1086 on a hill above the road, on which a pagan idol stood in pre-Christian times. After the Mongol invasion, the church was restored only in 1720.

The church is cruciform in plan, single-headed, five-aisled. The pyramidal shape organically completes the silhouette of the hill.

Миколаївська церква у Новгороді-Сіверському - визначний твір теслярського мистецтва чернігівської школи дерев'яної народної архітектури XVIII століття.

Перший храм на честь Святого Миколая було зведено в 1086 році на пагорбі над дорогою, на якій у дохристиянські часи стояв язичницький ідол. Після монгольської навали церкву було відновлено лише в 1720 році.

Церква хрестова у плані, одноголова, пятисрубная. Пірамідальна форма органічно завершує силует пагорба.
