St Nicholas Orthodox Church


Seldovia’s most popular attraction is this onion-domed church, which overlooks the town from a hill just off Main St. Built in 1891 and restored in the 1970s, the church is open only during services and by appointment. Though there is no resident clergyman, occasionally a visiting priest conducts services.
