The Church in the name of Saint Nicholas in the city of Kobrin – monument of Belarusian wooden Church architecture.

The first St. Nicholas Church in Kobrin was built in the XV century, when Prince John Simanovich donated Lithuanian Metropolitanate half of their court Maratovskogo and appointed his faithful servant priest of the Church. During the time of the Union of the Church of St. Nicholas took the Uniates. In 1835 the Church burned down.

The need for a new Church arose because during the spring flood the Mukhavets river overflowed, and the believers could not cross to the other side where there was an Orthodox Church. Therefore, the Orthodox community has received permission to transport and assemble wooden Orthodox Church from the village of Novoselki, where was the monastery was dissolved in 1750 built.

This is a wooden building now standing in Kobryn. It was moved and was consecrated on 19 December 1939. The Church has survived two world wars, the Russian revolution, Nazi occupation and visited the territory of tsarist Russia, Poland and the USSR. The Church of St. Nicholas was closed only in 1961, when closed nearly all the churches in the BSSR. First, the building was empty, then it staged a grocery warehouse.

Luckily the old wooden Church survived till our days. One day, when the Church was empty, it made a fire of some drunk people. But the fire refused to burn. The traces from the hearth on the floor.

In 1989 the Orthodox community Kobrin decided to restore the Church of St. Nicholas. After seeing the Church, the believers were convinced that he was perfectly safe. The temple hastily repaired and consecrated for 13 August 1989. Later it was attached to the Church narthex and next to the Church was elevated three-tiered bell tower. Now the Church of St. Nicholas valid.
