The silhouette of St. Nicholas Church can be seen from the very center of Vinnytsia: its domes rise above the Southern Buh, clearly outlined against the sky blue. The sacred building with a cozy green courtyard seems to stand in defense of the old-town peace from the noise of the fast-paced modern life.

This is the only survived wooden church that once decorated Vinnytsia. This triple-domed three-level church was built from oak logs without a single nail in 1746 and is located on the hill near legendary Zamkova Hora (literally Castle Hill). Along the perimeter it is surrounded by an open arcade-gallery, the area is surrounded by a low wall, the entrance is through the gate, which is guarded by a bell tower with elements of defensive architecture.
The Church is an example of Cossack Baroque of Eastern Podillia with the best features of the old Ukrainian culture of the Cossack Hetmanate.
Though the Church appeared in the 18th century, the reference related to priest Mykolynskyi in the 16th century lustration of Vinnytsia castle proves that there was a church in honor of St. Nicholas in Vinnytsia in the middle of the 16th century.
Throughout its existence, the church was Greek Catholic, later it became Orthodox. In Soviet times it was transformed into the Museum of Decorative and Applied Arts. Nowadays it is a functional church and a nationally significant sample of architecture, in which services are conducted and the St. Nicholas icon is being kept.
