The Saint Nicholas Church is the oldest Russian Orthodox church in Taganrog. It was erected 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.
In 1941 the church was severely damaged during occupation of Taganrog, after the end of war it was not used and gradually deteriorated. It was reconstructed in the early 1990s.

The bell of Chersonesos or "the fog bell of Chersonesos" is considered by many as "one of Taganrog's sights located abroad", which even became a symbol of another city - Sevastopol or to be more exact, the symbol of Chersonesos Taurica.
The monastery was closed in 1925 by the new authorities, and two years later all its bells were sent away to be recast. Only one bell escaped this sad fate because the Department of the Security of Navigation of the Black and Azov Seas proposed to place it on the coast as a signal fog bell. In this quality the bell served until the 1960s.
