Murom

Nikolo-Naberazhnaya Church

Russia, Vladimir region, Murom, Plekhanov str., 27A

Description:

On the high bank of the Oka is the Nikolo-Naberezhnaya church, its gilded domes are visible from afar. Due to the fact that during the flooding of the river water reaches the walls of the church, it is also called “Nikola Wet”.

The stone temple was built at the very beginning of the XVIII century - on the site of a wooden structure. The temple was dedicated to the most revered saint in the city - Nicholas the Wonderworker, patronizing merchants and travelers. And since the Fisherman’s Sloboda was located next to the church, such patronage to the Muromites was especially necessary.

In architectural terms, the church is an example of the style of “Moscow Baroque”. The main relic of the temple is the relics of righteous Julian Lazarevskaya, transferred to the church in 1993.

Not far from the church you can see another attraction - the healing Nikolsky spring, next to which, according to legend, the saint himself appeared several times.
