The structure, made of pine logs using the "in lap" method, belongs to the type of chapels that were widely spread in the northeast of Russia. In 1969, it was moved from the village of Bolshoye Tokarevo in the Soligalich district and restored to its original form according to the project of architect I.Sh. Shevelev in 1969-1970.
The chapel has an octagonal log structure with an unusual tapering towards the top, crowned with a low tent roof topped with an onion-shaped dome on a cylindrical drum covered with wooden shingles. The main volume is surrounded by a gallery supported by projections of the lower logs located under the floor. Carved columns installed opposite the corners of the log structure support the octagonal roof of the canopy. The log slabs covering the joints of the roof slopes emphasize the volumetric composition of the building, while the peaks at the ends of the boards add a festive touch. In the lower part, the gallery is enclosed by a close wooden parapet, which is interrupted only for the width of one side of the structure, where the entrance with a shield door is located. Each of the four sides of the octagon has one slanted window. The floor and ceiling of the chapel are made of wooden planks.
