The Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was built in 1913 according to the design of architect A. G. Starzhinsky. The funds for construction were provided by parishioners and a first-guild merchant from Morshansk, Grigory Vasilyevich Belousov. This five-domed structure with two tiers of windows, a semicircular apse, and a three-tiered tent bell tower is executed in the 'Russian' style. It is richly decorated with elements characteristic of ancient Russian architecture, such as kokoshniks, archivolts with pointed finishes, and wide trims. It is difficult to enter inside, as everything is closed and boarded up.
