History and Architecture:
On 27th September 1953 the foundation stone of the current Greek Orthodox Church in Darwin, St Nicholas, was laid by His Grace Archbishop Theophylactos Papathanasopoulos. Two years later, the Greek Orthodox Community of Darwin was formally established.
Two locals Petros Mihailou, and his son, Michael Mihailou, put many hours of volunteer work into helping build St Nicholas Church. Petros in particular, had a strong conviction that Greek churches should have a dome rather than a spire. He set about with Michael to construct the dome.
