The church is a stone three-altar church built in 1831 and consecrated in honor of the Archangel Michael. It was constructed on the site of a wooden church that burned down in 1812, about which nothing is known regarding its construction. Thanks to the efforts of the parishioners, the church has been rebuilt multiple times, increasing in size. Three chapels were added, altar parts were attached, and the bell tower was raised.
Today, the bell tower is destroyed, and until recently, the building was in a neglected state. In 2010, the reconstruction of the church began, and now the chapel of Paraskeva Friday has been fully restored. Interior repairs have been carried out, and the service in this chapel is conducted by the rector of the church, priest Viktor Turowich.
Not only the church was destroyed, but also two chapels. One was located in the local cemetery, and the other, at the famous Tushno spring dedicated to Paraskeva Friday. During Soviet times, there were attempts to close the spring by burying it with soil and pouring creosote and diesel fuel into it, but this place, attracting thousands of pilgrims, continues to operate.
