The holy place was given the name “Saint Hierarch Nicholas” in memory of the first founder – the felcher Nicholas Ivanov. The construction of the church began in 1901, according to the project of the city architect Vladimir Tiganko.

After the death of the main founder, Catherine’s wife sells the house for 5500 rubles and the whole amount is transferred to the account of the future church. The construction of the building was finished in December 1901.

The total amount for the erection of the church was 20 thousand 944 rubles 45 kopecks. The first parish priest was Sofronie Celan.

Next to the church a home for the elderly was built and operated for a long time, where 20 people were housed at the same time.

The church has a combination of different styles, so that each parishioner can find comfort in his soul.

It was closed in 1940 during the period of rampant atheism. During the USSR, the House of Culture of the medical faculty students operated here.

The holy place was reopened in 1992, when it was given back to the Metropolitanate of all Moldova by the administration of the Institute of Medicine.
