St Nicholas' Church at Kotelniki

St Nicholas' Church at Kotelniki (January 2014)

Although there have been several versions of the St Nicholas' Church at Kotelniki, the current version was built in the empire style between 1822 and 1824 under a project by the architect Osip Bove. In form it is a cube structure topped with a rotunda and attached to a small bell tower. The church's facades are decorated with bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the bible. In 1932 the church was closed and turned into a laboratory. In 1992 it was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church and in 1998 became the podvorye (embassy church) of the Orthodox Church of Czech Lands and Slovakia.
