In the center of the village, at the main square, on the corner of the road leading to the market, there is a stone chapel. It was built in 1890 in the market square in memory of Emperor Alexander II, funded by church patronage. The chapel belonged to the Church of the Resurrection of Christ, built in 1827.
The chapel is a square building, elongated upwards and previously adorned with decorative five domes. The walls and vaults are made of brick on a cement mortar, with a cross-shaped masonry. The roof is covered with iron on wooden rafters and has a complex structure: in the center, there is a conical octagonal elevation with four decorative lucarnes facing the cardinal directions, which served as the base for the central dome, while octagonal bases of smaller domes remain at the corners.
The low plinth of the building is decorated with a complex profile made of molded brick. The facades are adorned in the style of pseudo-classicism from the second half of the 19th century. They are decorated with flat four-column porticos with a three-part entablature and pediments. The pilasters are grouped in pairs, and on the northern and southern facades, there are windows, with a door on the west, and the eastern facade has no openings. The window sills and crowning cornices have a complex profile and are highly developed. The walls are topped with an attic part with a massive cornice and a frieze, with arcatures below the cornice. The chapel's windows are large, rectangular, and protected outside by metal decorative grilles made of octagonal rods and strips. The doors are double, wooden, with two leaves, and panelled. Inside, the room is covered with a four-bay vault. The windows are located below the springing of the vault, and the walls and vault are plastered. In the springing of the vault, there is a massive drawn cornice, and in the center, a round rosette. The walls show traces of bluish paint. The floors are wooden. The windows have reveals inside, and the window sills are made of thick boards.
Currently, the chapel is functioning and has been renovated with the funds from the residents.
