The Church of Saint Nicholas in Khamovniki is a late 17th-century parish church from Moscow's old weavers' district. Its bright decorative style, tented bell tower, and enclosed churchyard make it a rewarding stop away from the city's most obvious monuments.
The church is federally protected as a historic building. It fits naturally into a walk around Khamovniki, the Tolstoy estate area, and the quieter streets west of Gorky Park.
