The village of Nikolskoe ( now a city), was given the name in honour of the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker , brought by the first settlers, who in 1712 placed it in a wooden chapel.
Nikolskoye was founded by a decree of Peter I ,when peasant stone masons from the heartlands of Russian, mainly from Moscow, were resettled in St. Petersburg, to aid in the building of the new capital..
In 1717 a wooden chapel built in 1712 was converted to the church of St.. Nicholas and the settlement became a village. In 1718, in view of the narrowness, it was dismantled, in its place was built a new, also wooden church in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker .
In 1801, near the wooden church, a new stone church replaced the wooden one by architect Vasily Suranov, and with donations from St. Petersburg merchant of the 2nd guild, P. S. Rubtsov, The old church was dismantled in 1812....
