The Church of Michael of Chernigov in Gelendzhik is located on Thin Cape and has a history of over a century. In 1910, fundraising began for its construction. The church's design was developed by court architect, academician V. Pokrovsky. It was planned to be built in the neo-Russian style, which combined elements of national architecture with modern aesthetic requirements. In 1913, the commission approved the church, built under the guidance of architect S.A. Kalistratov, and the church began its operations. However, in the post-revolutionary years, the building was turned into a club and then into an electrical substation. After the war, the Church of Michael of Chernigov in Gelendzhik was almost forgotten, and it gradually fell into disrepair.

In 1992, an inventory of historical and cultural heritage sites was conducted, and all pre-revolutionary churches that survived the war were included in the lists of monuments of cult architecture for approval in the region. The Church of Michael of Chernigov in Gelendzhik was also included in these lists.

In 1995, the church was transferred to the Chernigov Skete of the Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra. During the restoration, it was not possible to fully restore the original appearance of the church: the proportions of the dome changed, the interior finishing was redone, and the iconostasis was brought from Moscow.
