A former Russian Orthodox Church on Gaolan Road in the Former French Consession. Built in the 1930s by the Russian diaspora. Following the Chinese Civil War it had various usages, e.g. as warehouse, laundry, restaurant. At present (Dec 2022) it is home to a bookstore and a cafe.

The building was built in 1932 on the initiative of White Russians in Shanghai, refugees of the revolution of 1917, especially General Glebov. It was consecrated in 1937 in honour of St Nicholas, patron saint of the former Russian Emperor, Nicholas II. The church was closed in 1949, when Europeans left following the Chinese Civil War. It was first converted into a warehouse and then a laundry. During the Expo 2010, its loft was reconsecrated to allow Russian Orthodox services to be held there.
