Nikolsky Church-Museum
About museum
Nikolsky Church-Museum, or the Church of the Epiphany, was built in 1710–1725 with funds from Nerekhta merchants under the direction of Fyodor Zimin the Younger with the assistance of Peter I. Visitors can enjoy the restored beauty of the church: 600 square meters of unique mid-18th-century fresco painting created by Yaroslavl masters of the Shustov brothers' artel, gilded 19th-century iconostases, the exhibition 'Revelation of Old Church Books (17th–19th centuries)', and 18th-century wooden religious sculpture, which are an unusual and rare phenomenon in Russian church art.
