In the village, there was a wooden church that burned down as a result of a fire. At the end of the last century, merchant Belousov built a new church at his own expense, consecrated in honor of Archangel Michael and the Holy Trinity. Today, this church is recognized as an architectural monument. There were two almshouses, utility buildings, and church warehouses, which are now used as a store, as well as cellars. The church and the adjacent buildings were surrounded by a stone fence, inside which clergy, merchants, and their relatives were buried.
According to one local resident, there were two churches in the village connected by an underground passage. However, the opinions of the residents differ: two claim that there was only one temple, while one storyteller speaks of two temples built by merchant Belousov. This information differs from the data of the 1992 survey, according to which the Church of Archangel Michael was built between 1760 and 1790.
Next to the church, a "noble" house was arranged, where local wealthy people and visiting merchants held celebrations. There were benches and a stage where performers entertained. Ordinary residents were also allowed to stroll in this garden.
The village had a 2-class church-parish school located in the center, next to the church. It is now in ruins.
In Zarechny, there is also a burial site where Tatars are buried.
