The church in the name of the prophet Elijah at the Ilyinsky cemetery, located in Muravishchi, was built on the site of a wooden church from the 18th century. The construction was funded by parishioners in the first quarter of the 19th century. The Ilyin church rises on a high bank of the Sherny River and represents a magnificent ensemble that combines features of late provincial classicism with elements of eclecticism. The complex consists of a tall three-altar temple, a low refectory, and a three-tiered bell tower, surrounded by a fence built in the second half of the 19th century.

The temple's square base has a noticeably protruding altar apse and facades divided halfway up by Ionic porticos. The upper part of the facades is decorated with rustication, and above the central bay rises a semicircular pediment. The five-domed structure of the temple is unusual: the spherical domes are placed on cylindrical drums, resembling lanterns. The central dome is raised on a high roof, while the side domes are shifted to the corners and set on cubic bases. The facades of the refectory are adorned with pilasters.

The decoration of the bell tower is also executed in an ordered system. The lower tier consists of a massive cubic base with low porticos, above which are semicircular windows. The upper tiers of the bell tower once had open bells. The completion is designed as a hemispherical dome with a small drum and a flat finial.

The "holy gates" are interestingly designed: they are three-part, decorated with a semicircular arch with a console in the center, forming a pediment, in which there was probably an icon.
