The stone church of the Iver Mother of God is located in the village of Dubenshchino on an elevated bank of the Sundovik River. It was built in 1824 by landowner Vasily Ivanovich Belavin. The church housed icons known for their paintings created by academician Stupin. The altar and the sacrificial table were made of cypress. In the altar, there was a remarkable image "The Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ," also by Stupin, measuring four arshins and two quarters in length. The tabernacle on the holy altar was crystal, with six gilded bronze columns and a silver-gilded ark weighing one and a half pounds. The frames and utensils contained up to 12 pounds of pure silver. The church was closed no later than the 1930s, and the bell tower was destroyed. Currently, it stands empty.
