A small red brick chapel in the Russian style was built in 1899 with funds from merchants of the Vyaznikovsky district. After the construction was completed, it became part of the church in Stankakh, located 4 km from the village. Soon after, a well was dug next to the chapel, and the water from it was considered healing among local residents and inhabitants of nearby villages. During the Soviet period, the chapel suffered: the five domes were destroyed, and the premises were used as a storage facility for some time, after which it was forgotten. Until the end of the 1990s, a chapel stood on the main street of the village, of which only the walls remained, as the roof had deteriorated back in the 80s. The interior was protected from destruction by a heavy wrought-iron door. In the late 90s, the villagers decided to restore the chapel, and the work was carried out through donations and the efforts of local residents. By the beginning of the new millennium, the chapel took on the appearance of an Orthodox church and was re-consecrated. The well with healing water was also remembered and consecrated.
