Minced ancient temple of St. Nicholas (or St. Nicholas in Rubleny City or St. Nicholas Chopped city) is located in the city of Yaroslavl at the Kotorosl embankment 8. It was built in the spirit of late-Yaroslavl architecture in 1695 with funds donated by the townspeople people involved in shipbuilding business. Shipyards located just near the church, on the river Kotorosl.

Minced Nikola Church is the only church in the former Yaroslavl Kremlin, preserved from the XVII century.

Tradition tells us that the name of the church appears on the location of the first church made of wood and put on this place even Prince Yaroslav the Wise in the local Rubleny city that is fenced chopped wooden wall. Some scholars are inclined to believe that it could be even a temple gate, which was located at the entrance gate, as Nicholas has long been considered the patron saint of travelers.

The stone church has turned a simple and uncomplicated, and at the same time elegant and proportional. Besstolpny building is crowned with five domes on the extended deaf drums that its stateliness and harmony resonate perfectly with the pointed tent belfry. The temple was built on the threefold axis of the composition, representing the bulk of, refectory room (once there was built a chapel in the name of Alexander Svirsky) and the bell tower. The bell tower stands on the highest arched porch that leads to the church. The walls of the building is almost not how it is decorated: the windows are deep niches decorated drums smooth cornices. Only the building of the bell tower is an exception - in her tent cut dormer decorated architraves and floor decorated with beautiful arches ringing.

Initially, the head of the church were covered with tiles of green shades. In the XIX century to save it it was blocked by iron sheets. Currently, coverage of the former type reconstructed.

In 1918, the Church of St. Nicholas Rubleny severely damaged by shelling. In 1920 it was abolished. For a long time the building was not used in any way. Only in the 1980s have settled here restoration workshops belonging to the Yaroslavl Art Museum, which owns the building so far.
