Nicholas Cathedral - the current Orthodox church, which is in the Kirov district of the city of Kemerovo.

The history of the temple dates back to 1846. There is a legend according to which the rich Tatar, swimming across the river Tom, began to sink, and asked for the salvation of the "Russian God." He emerged from the place where today is St. Nicholas Church, and subsequently ordered to build a church. The first church was built of wood in 1846 and is a small area odnoprestolny temple, a second church - stone - built nearly fifty years. In 1919 the church was destroyed by Red partisans, but after only three years the parishioners, so-called "renewers" was erected on the same spot a new wooden church.

In 1925, the St. Nicholas Church suffered a sad fate of most of the religious buildings of that time - the church was closed and the building was converted into a granary. And only in 1945, after numerous requests parishioners gave the community in perpetuity. For a long time the permanent rector was Simeon Sorokuz, a significant role in the revival of St. Nicholas Church and played the warden Vasily Ponomarev.

In 1970, a large-scale reconstruction of the church, which resulted in its area was increased to 64 meters, wooden walls replaced brickwork, rebuilt laundry. The interior of the church also updated - had made with new flooring, plastered and painted walls, large icons ordered from the artist N. Klyukovkina from Novosibirsk, was re-gilded iconostasis and Kyoto. Secondary reconstruction of the church was held ten years, during which the wooden baptismal church building was replaced by a stone. Later, in the territory of the Cathedral of St. Nicholas built a two-story stone building of the Sunday school.

To date, the Cathedral of St. Nicholas is one of the main Orthodox shrines of the city of Kemerovo.
