This is one of the oldest churches in Alaska, founded in 1845 by Father Igumen Nicholai.

There are three buildings at the sight included on the National Historic Landmark: The Parish House (believed to be the oldest building on the Kenai Peninsula), St. Nicholas Chapel, which is the burial place of Father Nichoai, and the Holy Assumptian Church. All three buildings are constructed of logs. There is also a graveyard, a small park, and a reproduction of Fort Kenai.

Church volunteers give tours during the summer months.
