This architectural monument features decor that dates back to 17th-century architecture, and its composition resembles wooden churches of the Kletsk region. In the early 20th century, the window openings were enlarged, a narthex was added to the bell tower, and the interior walls were plastered.
Above the low volumes of the church rises a four-tiered tent-like bell tower with an octagonal pillar on a square base. The main volume, slightly larger in size, is covered with a gable roof topped with a dome on a blind, faceted two-tiered drum. The large altar barely shows the two-part structure of the eastern side, with a pilaster in the center between the arches. The windows on the side facades of the square base and the refectory are arranged in two rows and framed with moldings featuring broken pointed pediments, characteristic of Naryshkin Baroque. The decoration is complemented by pilasters and corner strips on the volumes, cornices indicating the base and cornice, as well as pediments that finish the square base of the bell tower. The wedge-shaped endings of the ringing arches are embedded in the base of the faceted tent with two rows of dormer windows.
The main square base and the refectory are covered with identical barrel vaults, separated by a supporting arch and a trough at the western wall, while the deep altar has a barrel vault that transitions into a conch. The lower tier of the bell tower is covered with a closed vault with arches above the windows. Round stoves have been preserved in the refectory and square base. In the northwestern corner of the refectory, there is an entrance to the internal staircase of the bell tower.
