The Church of St. Nicholas in Tropino is a ruined seventeenth-century Eastern Orthodox church situated on the right bank of the Kotorosl River in Yaroslavl. Built in 1660 and expanded and renovated several times during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the structure exemplifies Russian Revival architecture. The site historically suffered from seasonal flooding. A memorial cross formerly marked the location where Patriarch Nikon died in August 1681. The surviving remains of the building have been repurposed for fish storage. As of early 2024, the property was offered for sale in Yaroslavl.
