St. Nicholas Church is a temple of the Russian Orthodox Old Believer Church. According to legend, Old Believers from Moscow and St. Petersburg, persecuted by the authorities, stopped in this place for the night, and in the morning they discovered the Hodegetria icon of the Most Holy Theotokos on a tree. Taking this as a good sign, the travelers decided to settle in these parts. They built a chapel, houses, and later a temple. Therefore, Novozybkovites believe that it was in this place that the city was founded. A wooden church with a 43-meter bell tower appeared here much later, in 1774. The uniqueness of the temple lies in the fact that it was built in the style of classicism, but not from stone, but from wood. The Nativity of St. Nicholas Church was included in Novozybkov’s tourist route. Not only regular parishioners come to the church; there are always many tourists here. Guests are interested in both the architectural monument and the traditions of our ancestors.

Fundraising for the construction of the Miracle St. Michael's Cathedral began in 1860 under the leadership of the merchant Mikhail Umanets.

It was consecrated even before all the work was completed in 1896, which continued for another 2 years. In 1937, the temple was closed, but during the Nazi occupation, it was reopened. In the 50s, the temple was restored, and in 1983 the cathedral was painted inside. in 1996, a Sunday school was opened in the church for children.

In 1909, the walls of the temple appeared. There was not enough money for further construction. Then Tsar Nicholas II donated a thousand rubles. Later, Arkady Vakulovsky-Doshchinsky added the same amount. And in the spring of 1914, the new church opened to parishioners. In 1937, the rector of the temple, Grigory Yezersky, was shot. During World War II, priest Athanasius served in the church. He was shot after Novozybkov was released. Then the temple was desecrated and destroyed. Later the building was converted into school workshops. In 2000, the temple was restored to its original form. And in 2013, the bells rang again in the bell tower.
