Фото 1
The Chapel of the Three Saints, which is a wooden structure on a high foundation, is a monument of cultural heritage from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The architectural composition of the chapel consists of two closely adjoining rectangular log cabins. The eastern part of the building is covered with a gable roof topped with a cross. The western part is more massive and taller, with a bell tower in the center, finished with a high tent roof with a dome and cross. The walls of the chapel are made of round logs and do not have cladding. The eastern facade has no windows, while the northern and southern sides each have two prayer room windows. All roofs are covered with "red" shingles, and the bell tower is supported by double columns.

In 2012-2013, work was carried out to dismantle and restore the bell tower's tent and octagon, including the replacement and restoration of some elements. New crosses were made and installed, and the dome and drum of the bell tower were disassembled and reassembled. The roofs were completely restored with the replacement of shingles and planing, and new waterproofing layers were installed. The corner crowns on the western and southern walls of the western cabin were replaced, and the porch was rebuilt with the replacement of some parts. Restoration of the floors in the undercroft and main rooms, as well as window and door openings, was also carried out. Interior and choir elements were made and installed. Earthworks were performed to divert water from the southwestern corner of the chapel, as well as electrical installation work and the installation of fire alarm and lightning protection systems.
