This category brings together articles about Orthodox churches, monasteries, and temples of Nizhny Novgorod and the region. Religious architecture holds a special place in the region's appearance: ancient monasteries and parish churches shaped the urban environment for centuries, and many of them survived closure and destruction during the Soviet period. Among the most significant sites are the The Church of the Nativity (Stroganov Church), the Blagoveshchensk Men's Monastery, and the The Ascension Pechersk Monastery for Men. The category covers both active churches and lost ones, including the St. Nicholas Church, of which only ruins remain.
