Churches in Athens


Agios Nikolaos
(Saint Nikolas)

Nikolaos Thon was a financial expert and advisor to King George I. In 1880 he built his mansion on the corner of Alexandras and Kifissias avenues to a design of the architect Ernst Ziller. The same architect also designed the small church there named after its donor and dedicated to Saint Nikolas.

During the fighting that followed the liberation of Athens in December 1944, the mansion was looted and destroyed.
