The Church of Nicholas the Wonderworker in Rubleniy City, also known as the Church of Nikola Rubleniy, is one of many Orthodox churches in Yaroslavl. It is located on the banks of the Kotorosl River, which flows into the Volga. Built in 1695 with funds from local shipbuilders, the church is situated near the shipyards and is the only surviving church from the 17th century Yaroslavl Kremlin that remains in its original form. The name of the church is connected to its location in Rubleniy City, as the Kremlin in Yaroslavl was previously called. Some historians believe that the church served as a gate church, located at the entrance to the Kremlin. Experts note that it is one of the most perfect ensembles of religious architecture from the 17th century in the city, embodying the canons of Russian architecture of that time. The small and modestly decorated Church of Nicholas appears harmonious and proportional, creating an impression of lightness and airiness. The architectural ensemble includes a five-domed square base, a refectory, and an octagonal bell tower with a gilded dome and cross. The creators of the church aimed to emphasize its ascetic poetry, focusing on the true meaning of holiness and service to God, showing that true beauty lies not in luxury but in the unity of the earthly and the divine. Decorative elements of the facades include a curb above the plinth, niches for icons, and the frames of the dormer windows on the bell tower. The architectural design was realized brilliantly, impressing with harmony and strict proportions. The Church of Nikola Rubleniy reaches towards God, with elegant drums of the domes and a slender spire of the bell tower. The feeling of lightness is enhanced by the contrasting heavy outlines of the porch and the single apse on the eastern side. The interior walls are not painted. A winter chapel dedicated to Alexander of Svir was later arranged in the refectory. At the end of the 17th century, it became common to build two churches as part of a temple complex: a large summer church and a small winter church. In the Church of Nikola Rubleniy, both churches are combined into one volume, which became a model for many rural churches in the Yaroslavl region. In 1918, the church was damaged during the anti-Bolshevik uprising, but it was soon restored, allowing this unique monument to be preserved. In 1921, the church was closed and remained unused for several decades. In the 1980s, the building was transferred to the city art museum, where restoration workshops were established.
