The Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior and a wooden chapel at the cemetery.
The Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior was built in the retrospective Russian style. It was a single-log structure made of wood, covered with a gable roof. It was originally built as a temporary church, but it still operates today.
The wooden church in the cemetery remained operational even during Soviet times. However, over time, the church became very dilapidated and was reconstructed. Brick walls were built around the wooden structure, a new foundation was laid, and the altar section was enlarged. Work was carried out to renew the domes and interior.
The temple has managed to preserve its original appearance to this day. A wooden chapel of the same construction period as the church has also been preserved; it is located to the right of the temple.
The interior of the church contains ancient icons and other church utensils.
Overall, it is a well-kept, cozy, small temple that radiates warmth.
