Church of St Nikolay Yamskoy

Ryazan, Ryazan Oblast Russia

Russian Orthodox

The church dates from 1788; the tower added in 1822. After 1917, the church, bell tower, and iconostasis were destroyed. Everything was confiscated by the authorities and a brewery was set up in the building. The damaged church was returned to the diocese in 1992. The building now houses an Orthodox library, reading room, and diocesan offices.
