The chapels of the church are dedicated to the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God and the martyr John the Warrior, located in the refectory part. The Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord was built between 1731 and 1736 by landowner Grigory Afanasyevich Ablyazov. The main part of the church is a two-tiered octagon set on a two-light square base. The bell tower consists of three tiers and has a tent-like shape. On the first tier, at the level of the second light, there is a surrounding gallery. The door to the gallery, located above the western entrance, led to a previously existing passage that connected the second floor of the manor house with the church and was supported by columns. On the northern side, a Kazan chapel has been added to the church, where the ancestors of A. N. Radishchev and his son Afanasy rest. Inside the church, fresco paintings from the mid-18th century have been preserved, as well as a six-tiered iconostasis, which was moved from the Spaso-Transfiguration Church of the village of Russian Pendelka in 1968.
