On the opposite bank of the Volga from the Kolkhoznik pier, the silhouette of a slender church with a bell tower can be seen; this is the burial site of Nikola on Plesna. It is more convenient to get here via the Yaroslavl-Rybinsk highway, taking a bus to the Kindyaki station. On the outskirts of the modern settlement, where workers of a large livestock complex live, two buildings can be seen beyond the ravine. One of them, the wooden Nikolskaya church, was presumably built in the 16th century but significantly reconstructed in the 1850s.

The Church of Nikola on Plesna is one of the few surviving monuments of wooden architecture that were once numerous in the Yaroslavl region. Originally, it was a small church of the cell type, consisting of two parts: the church itself and the altar annex, while the bell tower stood separately.

In the mid-19th century, the church underwent significant changes after renovations. It was raised on a stone foundation and sheathed with boards. A western narthex was added, which altered the original proportions of the building. Instead of a gabled roof, the main square was covered with a massive octagon topped with a faceted drum and a spherical dome. The narrow log windows were bricked up, and new, wider ones were cut in their place. The northern and southern facades were decorated in the style of late classicism: triangular pediments and semicircular arches with keystones appeared above the windows. Overall, the Nikolskaya church was made to resemble the Annunciation church, built in the late 18th century in the style of an octagon on a square with funds from parishioners.

Now, as the board sheathing has been removed in many places, the powerful logs of the ancient structure, the outlines of the bricked-up windows, and the contours of a small icon case on the eastern edge of the altar annex have become visible again. Previously hidden construction techniques of the 16th-century builders have also been revealed and clarified. The crowns of the main square were joined in a 'rounded' manner with protruding round ends, and a different type of log connection was used for the apse, without a remainder, or as it was said then, 'in paw.'
