Hidden out of view on Ulitsa Nikolskaya is the Dormition Church in Chizhevskoe Podvorye. It is located in the courtyard behind the buildings and to get there you need to walk down the alley before the Nikolskaya Plaza shopping centre and then turn left. The church dates from 1691 and was built in the Naryshkin baroque style. It features a cube base with a single octagonal bell tower on top. In 1925 the church was closed and only reopened in 2000 after undergoing restoration.
