The paper analyzes the previously unpublished archival sources of the 19th century on the construction of the first wooden churches (the Blagoveshchenskaya and the Preobrazhenskaya Churches), cemetery chapels, and the Yudmozerskaya Church of the Theotokos of Tikhvin (1863) in the Nimenga parish of the Onezhsky District, Arkhangelsk Province. In addition, the study is based on the on-site field inspections of the preserved historical objects – the Preobrazhenskaya Church (1878) and the bell tower (1764), which allowed us to graphically re-create these objects in their original appearance. As a result, we introduced new factual data into the field of study, outlined the historical construction periods and described specific architectural features of the studied objects, as well as made conclusions about the full construction history of the Nimenga church complex in the 17th–19th centuries.
