The chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Myra the Miracle Worker was built in the late 19th century and is currently in a preserved state. Information about its author, builders, and client is absent.
The building belongs to small wooden cult structures with a three-tiered bell tower, symmetrical along the west-east axis. The bell tower includes four rooms: the porch, the refectory, the temple, and a room connecting the refectory and the temple. The dimensions of the chapel are: length, 14 meters; width, 4.8 meters. The main room of the chapel has a two-light space, covered by an eight-section vaulted ceiling. The walls are made with a "rounded" technique and protected by planking. The bell tower has an octagonal dome. The foundation is made of boulders, and the roof is covered with iron.
The chapel rises above the surrounding buildings and is clearly visible from the river. Its volumetric-spatial composition is built on the contrast between the tall bell tower and the main room of the chapel. Decorative elements are absent. The dimensions of the rooms are: porch, length 4.2 meters, width 1.7 meters, height 2.8 meters; temple, length 4.2 meters, width 4.2 meters, height 5 meters. The height of the interior spaces increases as one approaches the main room, the temple. The chapel in the village of Kyrs is a typical example of cult structures from the 19th century. No restoration has been carried out, the condition is good, although in some places the roof has rusted.
