Photo and description

Nicholas Church, designed in the classical style, was erected instead of the wooden parish church that existed since the middle of the 17th century on the territory of the town of Novy Kodak (Dnepropetrovsk).

В In June 1807, in Novy Kodak, the dean of the Yekaterinoslavsky district, Archpriest John Stanislavsky, consecrated a site for a church, and a cross was erected at the place of work. The construction was carried out for three years. In architectural terms, the Nicholas Church is designed as a cross, with a strongly elongated western branch and a semicircular apse (altar ledge), small square extensions frame the building of the temple. The north and south facades of the church are crowned with four-column Doric porticoes. The western facade adorns the main entrance to the temple, accentuated by a Doric portico with two columns. Above the western vestibule (an annex in front of the entrance to the church) there is a two-tiered, octagonal bell tower, topped with a tent. Above the central part, there is also an octagonal dome, completed with a tent, topped with an original lantern with an onion. The construction of the church was completed in 1810. But in the thirties, the church was closed, and a store of ammunition was located in its premises.

During the Great Patriotic War, the temple resumed its activities. The temple was restored to its status already in the 60s. At the beginning of 2004, a Sunday parish school was opened on the basis of the church. Today the church is opening its doors for services, inviting all those who are suffering and believers to pray together.
