The Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker Church is a Russian Orthodox church in the city of Taganrog. ==History== The Saint Nicholas Church is the oldest Russian Orthodox church in Taganrog. It was built in 1778 at the request of rear-admiral Fedot Klokachev who commanded the Azov Flotilla, and was dedicated to Saint Nicholas, who is considered as the patron saint of all sailors. In 1855, during the Siege of Taganrog, the building of the church was shelled by the British and French warships. The cannonballs that were stuck in its walls were discovered during one of the renovations and were purposely left for display. In 1941 the church was severely damaged during occupation of Taganrog, after the end of war it wasn't used and gradually deteriorated. It was reconstructed in the early 1990s.
