Фото 1
The Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God is located in the village of Neronovka in the Sergievsky District. It is a wooden structure, clad in planks, with a square base topped by a small light octagon with an onion dome. The church is adjoined by side narthexes, a refectory, and a three-tiered bell tower.

Construction of the temple began in 1908. The site was chosen for a reason: local residents often noticed lights resembling candles in this place. At a village meeting, it was decided to build a church in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The villagers actively participated in the construction and decoration of the church. The wooden temple was built on a stone foundation in the shape of a cross and in the Russian style. The interior decoration is done in the academic style, and about 2.5 kg of gold was used for the carved iconostasis.

The church in Neronovka was closed in 1939 and was used as a grain storage facility for four years. In 1944, the temple was returned to the faithful, and since then it has not been closed again. Restoration began in 1974, during which the frescoes and paintings were restored. The temple represents significant historical, cultural, and spiritual value for the region.
