Best Hikes to Russian Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas (Gifhorn International Windmill Museum)

Tips

  • The 27 meter high wooden church with eight gilded domes is a replica of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Transfiguration of Christ from 1765 in the village of Koslyatjevo. It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and was consecrated on November 24, 1995 by the Moscow Patriarch Aleksiy II. An exhibition of liturgical objects from the Patriarchate's factory can be seen in the church. It includes icons, oil lamps, candlesticks, robes, embroidery, baptismal vessels, Bibles and golden pictures, some of which are painted there. A visit to the interior of the building, which is decorated with icon paintings, costs an additional entrance fee. The bells of Minden Cathedral, cast in 1948, are hung in front of the church.

  • ...just for the variety of mills, which are accessible, is worth a trip, but also the entire 15ha area invites you to walk and linger...
    You can also go boating on the water canals... have fun exploring 😃👍🏼
