Church of the Nativity in Krokhino (Template:Lang-ru) is half-destroyed Russian Orthodox Church in the former village of Krokhino in Belozersky District of Vologda Oblast, on the left Bank of Sheksna.
Typical for Belozersky district example of a Church in the late Russian Baroque style, built in the late XVIII-early XIX centuries, with archaic for this time volumetric composition and exterior decor. The only surviving structure of the village of Krokhino. It is located on the territory flooded in 1961 during the filling of the Sheksna Reservoir.
This Church was known for running through the Sheksna route of tourist boats.
In 2009, a project was launched to save the church, which collected historical and archival data about the temple, received expert opinions about its historical, architectural and cultural value, examined its technical condition and organized dozens of volunteer expeditions to carry out priority anti-emergency works, including the construction of a dam to protec the church from waves and ice. In the future, the project provides for the construction of a memorial chapel in the lower tier of the bell tower of the chirch and the styling of the lighthouse in the upper tier.
