The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Podozyorie was built at the end of 1745 on the site of an ancient wooden church, thanks to the financial support of parishioners. This event marked an important stage in stone construction in Rostov after a long ban. In 1744, Peter the Great issued a decree prohibiting stone construction outside of St. Petersburg. For a long time, wooden churches stood on this site, the first of which was erected before the attack of Khan Edigei on Russian lands. The stone church of Nicholas has one dome and two altars: one dedicated to St. Nicholas, and the other to the icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow," which is especially revered alongside the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Thanks to preserved historical sources, we know not only about the construction process but also about the repair and restoration works of the church. At the end of 1744, the priest of the wooden church, Peter Andreev, and deacon Grigory Nikitin, along with parishioners, appealed to Metropolitan Arseny for permission to build a stone church in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. It was planned that the church would have an altar dedicated to the Most Holy Theotokos. The old wooden church was intended to be handed over to the peasants from the village of Shugori in the Rostov district. The consecration of the new church took place in 1751, conducted by Metropolitan Arseny. The church was built of brick, but the roof remained wooden. The church iconostasis is made in the baroque style, gilded and carved. There is a description from 1853 that recounts events of that time. The iconostasis of the Nicholas church was constructed in the baroque style, divided into several tiers with cornices and lace carvings, gilded with red gold. The iconostasis is installed on a small elevation by the supporting wall. Initially, the church had no paintings, but later they were executed according to certain themes. Over time, the interior decoration of the church underwent many changes, of which there are records. For example, in 1768, the wooden roof was replaced with an iron one, which has survived to this day. It is known that the roof replacement was carried out with the funds of the parishioners. At the end of 1832, a new porch was added to the church. Three years later, a large inventory of church property was conducted, including the new iconostasis. At the end of 1845, a high wooden fence was erected around the church. In 1853, the wall paintings were updated. In the same year, a new inventory was conducted, noting that the church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is cold, but it has a warm altar dedicated to the Most Holy Theotokos "Joy of All Who Sorrow." The church is divided into the altar part, the main church, the porch, and the refectory. The church is single-story, the roof is made of sheet iron and painted with copper paint. A large iron cross, gilded with red gold, is placed on the dome. There is an apple attached to the dome with iron chains. The roof of the refectory is also covered with sheet iron and painted with copper paint. Outside, the walls of the church are whitewashed with lime without plaster. In 1920, the Church of Nicholas was closed. In the 1930s, the dome and bell tower were dismantled, and the fence and interior decoration were lost.
