Фото 1
The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin was built in 1817 with funds from the parishioners. This stone building has five domes and a bell tower, which has not survived. The church has three altars: in honor of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos, the Epiphany of the Lord, and the holy bishops Athanasius and Cyril, archbishops of Alexandria. The icon of St. Athanasius was particularly venerated. The second church, dedicated to the Great Martyr Catherine, was rebuilt in 1864 from a chapel with funds from landowner Trofimova. This stone structure has one dome and an altar in honor of the Great Martyr Catherine. The church is adorned with Gothic windows, and the narthex, which was previously a chapel, is done in an eclectic style.
