Nikolaevskoye Courtyard, named after Emperor Nicholas II, is a hotel complex for pilgrims within the "Russian Buildings" in Jerusalem. Its construction began in 1901, when Russian pilgrims started to actively visit these places. The complex could accommodate up to 1000 people at a time. The building included storerooms, a dining hall, samovar rooms, and three shops. In 1914, the courtyard was occupied by Turkish troops, and in 1917 it came under British administration.

In the early 20th century, the move from Russia to Israel became more accessible, leading to an increase in the number of pilgrims and issues with their accommodation. It was decided to build additional housing, Nikolaevskoye Courtyard, which became the last building on the territory of the Russian courtyard in Jerusalem. It served as a residence for Russian pilgrims and was named in honor of the last tsar of the Russian Empire. The architecture of the building was designed by A. E. Elkin.

Nikolaevskoye Courtyard had 1300 sleeping places, and its construction cost 168,546 rubles. The building was laid on September 5, 1903, and consecrated on December 6, 1905, on the feast day of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker.

During the British Mandate, the Nikolaevskoye Courtyard housed the central police administration, which was blown up by Jewish insurgents led by Menachem Begin. In 1964, the building was sold to Israel as part of the "Orange Deal."
