            St. Nicholas Church on the Water. Kyiv

The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on the Waters is an Orthodox church on the Dnieper near the Podol embankment in Kyiv. It’s the first and only temple in Ukraine, located in the water area. It’s height is 23 meters. A 15-meter bridge approaches the church from the shore. The church can accommodate about 50 people

At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a Russian-style chapel of St. Nicholas on the Kyiv river pier, built at the expense of the city's water rescue society, and destroyed in the 1930s. Temples on the waters are traditionally considered monuments to the dead rivermen and sailors.

The construction of the church began on December 19, 2003 on the day of St. Nicholas and was carried out at the expense of the Ukrrichflot company. The authors of the project are Yuri Lositsky and Elena Miroshnichenko.
 In 2004, the church of St. Nicholas was built on alluvial soil. The consecration took place on July 7, 2004, on the feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist, by Vladimir (Sabodan), Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine.
 The icon of St. Nicholas, which is over 200 years old, is kept in the temple. 
The shape of the temple slightly resembles a candle of a flowering chestnut tree.
