Kamenskoye Church

Local nameЦерковь Николая Чудотворца
LocationKamenskoe, Russia

The Church of St Nicholas is a small fortified church in the village of Kamenskoye, Naro-Fominsk District, Moscow Oblast, Russia. The Nara River is 200 meters away. Probably dating from the 14th century, this Orthodox church is considered the oldest building in the Moscow region.

No records exist of the church prior to its dome's collapse during the Time of Troubles. Following a long period of neglect, the building was repaired and considerably expanded in the 18th century. It remained little known until Mikhail Preobrazhensky, writing in the late 19th century, declared it the oldest building in the Kaluga Governorate. It was the subject of a medievalizing restoration programme in 1958–1964.
