Church or chapel · 1872
Võõpsu Orthodox Church
Võõpsu's Orthodox church of St Nicholas near Räpina began as a room: in 1872 a church was fitted into the south end of the Võõpsu branch school for a branch congregation of Räpina parish. The Riga consistory bought the stone building in 1877, and a new iconostasis came in 1891. In 1916 school and church were closed and the furnishings taken to Räpina, but in 1923 the hall was fitted out as a church again and Bishop Joann (Bulin) consecrated it to St Nicholas. A small ridge turret was added in 1936.

Räpina lähedal Võõpsus asuv Püha Nikolai õigeusu kirik sai alguse ühest ruumist: 1872. aastal sisustati Võõpsu abikooli hoone lõunaossa kirik Räpina koguduse Võõpsu abikogudusele. 1877. aastal ostis Riia konsistoorium kivihoone ja 1891. aastal ehitati uus ikonostaas. 1916. aastal suleti kool ja kirik ning sisustus viidi Räpinasse, kuid 1923. aastal sisustati ruum taas kirikuks ja piiskop Joann (Bulin) pühitses selle püha Nikolai auks. 1936. aastal lisati väike haritorn.
