General information about Saint Nicholas Church (Novhorod-Siverskyi)

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