The chapels of the church are dedicated to Archangel Michael and the apostles Peter and Paul.
The church, named in honor of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, was built in 1908 in the Russian style, but without a bell tower. The main part of the building is a square with an octagonal drum topped with a dome and decorated with kokoshniks. On the eastern side, three semicircular apses adjoin the square. The northern and southern facades, corresponding to the side chapels, are distinguished by powerful keel-shaped zakomaras with rusticated archivolts. The entrances to the two-light chapels are designed as runduks, characteristic of ancient Russian architecture. The walls of the rectangular refectory also end with kokoshniks. The window openings of the church have keel-shaped archivolts resting on half-columns, and the walls are adorned with profiled rectangular and semicircular niches, stepped dry loaves, and ribbed friezes. The western facade has almost no decoration, as it was planned to attach a bell tower to it, which was never built.
