The church dedicated to St. Seraphim of Sarov was built in the estate of P. D. Akhlestyshev in 1912. The construction was overseen by V. V. Suslov, the project author. During the 1905 revolution, Pavel Dmitrievich Akhlestyshev experienced events that prompted him to consider building a church: "Due to the turmoil of that time, I found myself in extremely difficult financial conditions, from which I emerged in the most unexpected way. And, as I deeply believe, thanks to the intercession of St. Seraphim, I then decided to build a church in his memory." Akhlestyshev allocated about 30,000 rubles for the construction.
The church, designed in the Art Nouveau style with elements of the Neo-Russian style, was built without columns and had a stepped pyramidal composition on a high base. Curvilinear gables, reaching upwards, adorned the base of the tent over the central apse and the western wing, which were once topped with miniature domes. The brick building features reinforced concrete vaults and roofing structures. The architecture of the church is characterized by monumentality and picturesque qualities, richly decorated with glazed tiles, polychrome majolica, and glazed roofing tiles. Entrance is through a porch with an arcade on four round columns and a side staircase. The smooth walls are enlivened by bright spots of cool-toned majolica, while the relief ornament fills the tympana of the shaped door frames, creating a festive frieze. The church was not fully finished and consecrated; it was closed due to the onset of the revolution.
In 1997, the Seraphim Church was handed over to the faithful in a ruined state. To this day, part of the decoration, ceramic icons of patron saints in kiots, and a majolica composition "Not Made by Hands" in the tympanum of the porch, created by the artist S. T. Shelkov, have survived. The church houses a relic of St. Seraphim of Sarov. Currently, the church is being restored.
