Church of St. Nicholas in Tolmachi

Yakimanka District, Russia · built 1697

The Church of St. Nicholas in Tolmachi (Khram Svyatityelya Nikolaya v Tolmachakh) is both a Russian Orthodox house church and museum that is part of the State Tretyakov Gallery located in Moscow. The church is home to several religious relics and icons; it housed the culturally important Our Lady of Vladimir icon until 3 April 2026. First mentioned in 1625 when it was a wooden church, the Church of St. Nicholas in Tolmachi has since undergone several reconstructions and restorations. The church was ultimately closed in 1929 and became a neglected art storage house. Liturgical services were resumed after a unique arrangement between the Patriarchate and the gallery was agreed upon in 1993.
