From July 29 to August 13, 2017, the Tourist and Search Club "Horizont" of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, together with the Search Squad "Sterkh", conducted work as part of the project "Common Cause. Revival of Wooden Churches of the North." During the "Krasnaya Selga" expedition in the Medvezhyegorsk district of Karelia, they were engaged in the restoration of the chapel of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in the area of Krasnaya Selga.

The chapel is a two-chamber wooden church without an altar, consisting of a prayer room and a narthex. Above the narthex rises a hexagonal bell tower with a seven-column ringing tier, topped with a tent roof, a dome, and a cross. A three-walled log structure of the narthex adjoins the western wall of the church. The church has a G-shaped form and is covered with a multi-pitched roof. The prayer room is illuminated by two windows, while the narthex and the narthex have one each. The entrance to the church is located in the northeast, and the internal staircase occupies the entire width of the narthex. The walls of the main log structure are made of pine logs, while the narthex is made of logs hewn "in lap". The outer walls are clad with boards secured by wrought nails.

The roof over the main log structure is gable, with a nail roofing. The ceilings in the prayer room and narthex are made of planks. The windows and doors have complex joints characteristic of traditional architecture. The bell tower is hewn "in lap" and clad. The central post of the bell tower and other elements are supported by a system of beams. The chapel's decor includes wide eaves and traces of yellow and red paint.

The history of the chapel's construction spans four stages. Initially, a two-part chapel was built, and later a bell tower was added above the narthex. In the late 19th century, a narthex was attached to the church, and a window was cut into the northwest wall. The cladding and the installation of a window in the narthex completed the church's appearance.

The chapel, located in the western Zaonezhye, has features related to Karelian architectural traditions. Among them are the southern entrance to the narthex and the absence of windows on the northern side. The external appearance of the chapel resembles a peasant house-complex of the "glagol" type.

At the time of the expedition, the chapel was in an emergency state. The crowns of the log structure were damaged, and the geometry and alignment of the walls were disrupted. The narthex and bell tower were also in unsatisfactory condition. The ceiling and floor in the narthex were missing, and the roof was almost lost. Decorative elements of the chapel were partially lost.

During the work, the lower crowns of the chapel were excavated, the geometry of the log structure was corrected, and the foundation was strengthened. The narthex was secured with vertical ties, the southern wall was raised, and the tilt of the bell tower was eliminated. Damaged elements of the bell tower and roof were replaced, and conservation shields were made for the windows. Fallen elements of the chapel were removed inside.
