The Church Of Saint Nicholas – Tabacu (Biserica Sfântul Nicolae – Tabacu) is a Romanian Orthodox church located next to the Nicolae Iorga Park on Victory Avenue in Bucharest.
The first church in its location was constructed from wood in the 17th century. In 1710, Dima Tabacu and priest Cozma rebuilt it again from wood and this church remained at least until 1774 when it was mentioned by Mihai Cantacuzino. It is unknown when the church was exactly rebuilt from stone, but it was probably around 1800. The first documented restorations of the church took place in 1864. The interior paintings were created in 1900 by the painters Anton and Petru Serafim.
Over time several restorations and modifications of the church were carried out, including in 1890, 1898, 1902, and after the earthquake of 1940. During the earthquake, the large spire collapsed but was never rebuilt. After the earthquake of 1977 only minor repairs were needed.
The Church Of Saint Nicholas – Tabacu has a length of 31 meters and a width of 15 meters, with polygonal apses on the outside. The church has two octogonal towers which are clad in tin and placed on square bases. The entrance porch has a single arch which rests on double columns on each side.
