Located on the southern border of the ancient fortress Kozeltsev, near the river Oster, at the spot where once there was a wooden church. The present church was built in 1781-84 years. Late Baroque by means of the priest and parishioners K. Tarlovskii and was consecrated in honor of St. Nicholas. Very popular in Ukraine was considered the patron saint of travelers, and, of course, the temple of the same name, located off the main road - a common phenomenon. This temple is probably one of the last samples of Ukrainian rock-baroque architecture. It is clearly seen the influence of classicism. Customers of the church have not been able to invite for the construction of eminent architects, build on that according to ancient folk traditions, but with an emphasis on more fashionable then baroque. So there was an oblong cross-shaped in terms of structure, resembling in detail kamennitsu civil purposes, and the space-bulk solution - a wooden church's cross. The desire to adequately look at the background of the main cathedral Kozelets - Nativity of the Virgin, was expressed in elongated upward bath room and two baroque shape head office with a gilded cross. To the southern and northern branch of adjacent low Exedra. To the east, between the arms - in terms of curvilinear chamber. Facades completed a triangular pediment. During the war, the church burned down in 1980 was restored as close as possible to the pristine form. Existing iconostasis was created recently. Basis for writing the majority of icons were the paintings of Kiev Vladimir cathedral. All interior surfaces are painted based on the 16 th century Moscow churches and book miniatures, which is not characteristic of the Ukrainian churches late 18 th century. The church is now serving.
