Mykolaiv / Nikolaev
Mykolaiv Oblast Ukraine
Ukrainian Orthodox
In 2000, a local business man began to build a chapel in honor of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of Nikolaev. After the walls were built, financial difficulties stopped further work and a fence was placed around the site. In 2007 another business man continued construction, installing the dome and crosses in 2008. Scenes from the life of St. Nicholas are depicted in stained glass windows on three sides of the chapel. The iconostas is made of three colors of marble from Greece and Spain. The foundation of the bell tower was laid in 2009.
