Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker under restoration in the village of Krasny Gorodok, Sergievsky district of the city of Samara. Construction began at the beginning of the 18th century, the temple was completed almost half a century later, in 1841. The church was active until 1932, after which it was closed and transferred to collective farm needs. The building was used as a grain storage. With the collapse of the collective farm, the temple was abandoned. However, in 2007 the church began to be restored. But the process is very long.

Unfortunately, it was not possible to get inside. The door is locked, and whoever has the keys has not been found. In general, as the locals say, church services are very rare.

Done apparently not very high quality, the new plaster is already falling off
