General information about Saint Nicholas Church (Hlukhiv)

The ancient Cossack Saint Nicholas Church is the oldest architectural monument in Hlukhiv. It was built by master Matviy Yefimov in the Baroque style.

During the hetman times, Cossack councils were held on the square in front of the church, where various state issues were decided, and "elections" were held in the church itself - sumptuous ceremonies of consecration to hetmans.

Here is the grave of the politician and statesman of the Hetman region, Major General Mykola Khanenko.

Старовинна козацька Миколаївська церква - найдавніша архітектурна пам'ятка Глухова. Споруджена майстром Матвієм Єфимовим у стилі бароко.

За гетьманських часів на площі перед церквою проходили козацькі ради, на яких вирішували різні державні питання, а в самому храмі проводилися "елекції" - пишні церемонії посвячення в гетьмани.

Тут знаходиться могила політика і державного діяча Гетьманщини, генерального хорунжого Миколи Ханенка.
