Nikolo-Bogoyavlensky Church consists of two churches - lower and upper. The lower church was consecrated in the name of St. Nicholas of Myra the Wonderworker, the patron saint of all travelers, including by sea. The upper church is consecrated in the name of the Epiphany of the Lord. Therefore, the full name of the temple is Nikolo-Bogoyavlensky Cathedral. Its construction was completed in 1762.


By order of Catherine II, 10 images were donated to the temple in honor of the victories of the Russian fleet in battles with the Swedes and Turks. Since then, many famous people have made gifts to the temple: the composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the poetess Anna Akhmatova and others. It has become a tradition to celebrate any event in the Russian fleet with a divine service in the temple.
