sony St. Nicholas Russian Church Jan2025 (7)

            St. Nicholas Russian Church is located in central Bucharest, just off University Square. 
Russian Ambassador Mikhail Nikolaevich Giers initiated the building of a Russian Orthodox church in central Bucharest in 1905. 
It was meant mainly for the use of the legation employees, as well as for Russians living in the capital city of the Kingdom of Romania.

The Court of Emperor Nicholas II provided the funds needed for the building. 
The structure occupies a surface of 350 m2 and it was set in brick and stone. 
The seven domes (taking the shape of onion domes — characteristic of Russia, but unusual in Romania) were initially covered in gold. 
The iconostasis was carved in wood and then covered in gold, following the model of Church of the Twelve Apostles in the Moscow Kremlin.

St. Nicholas Church remained under the jurisdiction of the Russian Patriarchate from 1909 until 1934, when Nicolae Titulescu, at that time the head of the Romanian diplomacy, arranged it to be given to the administration of the University of Bucharest.

The church was repaired and the painting was renovated in 1948 by the painter Anatolie Cudinov, and the repairs in 1967 by the painters Eugen Profeta, Victor Zenlichika, and Victor Kostyurin.
Following the 1977 earthquake, the great tower was cracked, so it was necessary to consolidate the entire edifice and recondition the painting.
Work began in 2000, but there was a long delay due to lack of funds

In 1992, the Blessed Teoctist Father, Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church, attributed again to the students the Church of Saint Nicholas, who thus regains, after 45 years, the statute of Paraclis of the University of Bucharest.
