Saint Nicholas Cathedral

Izborsk Staryi
Izborsk Fortress
, Pskov Oblast Russia

Russian Orthodox

The Izborsk Fortress church inside the main entrance dates from the early 14th century, first mentioned in 1341. The bell tower with a small narthex was built in 1849. The church has operated since its consecration until the present time. From 1920 to 1940 it was the oldest Orthodox church in Estonia; that was the period when Izborsk was in Estonia rather than Russia.
