The Church of Mikhail Malein belongs to the Old Believer church and is located on Molotkovskaya Street, south of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin. The first mention of it dates back to 1199, and the stone building appeared several centuries later. According to a commemorative plaque, in 1557, a refectory and bell tower were added to the church, but the archives did not preserve information about the customer and builder of these extensions, which somewhat obscured the monument's overview. Previously, the Bogoroditsky Monastery, also known as Mikhailitsky, was located here. The refectory has two altars, in the name of Mikhail Malein and the Nativity of the Virgin. The church has a cross-shaped plan and one dome; it is a pillarless church with a blind drum. The facades are decorated with pilasters and end with a two-tiered wedge-shaped finish. On the northern facade, there are window openings from the 17th century and a restored portal from the same period. The vault of the church is a trough vault, the altar vaults are barrel vaults, and the vault of the refectory rests on a column. The walls are simple, plastered, without decoration, the only ornamentation being arched niches above the windows.

Adjoining the northwestern side of the church is a hexagonal tent-like bell tower. It is three-tiered, with a high square main volume and corners resembling columns. The second tier is almost blind, with small windows and false arched openings. The third tier features an open belfry, with corner columns connected by arches under the tent and ornate balustrades on the lower level. The roof of each tier is adorned with a carved pattern resembling peaks, which is repeated at the base of the tent.

During the Great Patriotic War, the church suffered greatly: explosions and shells damaged the walls and vaults, creating cracks. A strong explosion destroyed the church's covering, and to prevent complete destruction, a temporary roof was installed immediately after the war. Restoration work was carried out in 1959-1960 under the guidance of architect G.M. Shtender. The door and window openings were restored, niches were replaced, and the roof was redesigned to match the forms of the 17th century. The interior was tidied up, and the tent-like bell tower was restored after the destruction. Despite its simplicity and lack of decoration, the church looks majestic, reminding of the eternal values that remain unchanged.
