General information about Saint Nicholas Church (Kharkiv)

The first Saint Nicholas Church in the village of Zhihor (now a suburb of Kharkiv) was built in 1747 at the expense of Colonel Andriy Shcherbinin.

The church was made of wood and soon burned down. The current stone church of Nicholas the Wonderworker with one throne was started to be built in 1890 at the expense of the parishioners. A church and parish school operated at the temple. After the revolution, the temple was closed and opened several times.

Today, the church has been completely restored. Inside, the walls are extremely beautifully painted. The church is functioning, and a church-parochial school has been opened again.

Перша Свято-Миколаївська церква в селищі Жихор (тепер це околиця Харкова) була побудована в 1747 році коштом полковника Андрія Щербініна.

Церква була дерев'яною і незабаром згоріла. Нинішній кам'яний храм Миколи Чудотворця з одним престолом почали будувати в 1890 році коштом парафіян. При храмі діяла церковно-парафіяльна школа. Після революції храм кілька разів закривали та відкривали.

Нині церву повністю відреставровано. Всередині надзвичайно красиво розписані стіни. Храм діє, при ньому знову відкрито церковно-парафіяльну школу.
