The parish has two churches: the St. George Church, built of stone in 1791, with a stone bell tower, and the Ascension Church, also made of stone, erected in 1838. Both churches were built with the funds of parishioners and are surrounded by a stone fence. There are two cemeteries on the parish grounds: one located within the church fence, and the other situated 100 fathoms away, surrounded by a moat and a wooden fence. The St. George Church has three altars: in honor of St. George the Great Martyr, the Archangel Michael, and the Bodiless Powers, as well as St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The altars in the Ascension Church are dedicated to the Ascension of the Lord, St. Blaise the Martyr, and the Holy Martyrs Flora and Lavra. A notable feature of the churches is the richness of church utensils and decorations on the icons, which contain more than three poods of silver. The parish is located 200 versts from Kostroma and 30 versts from Soligalich. The nearest churches are located in the villages of Vyal'tsevo, Vochi, Pochinok, and Zhukovo, at a distance of 10 versts.
