In the early 18th century, the number of villages belonging to the parish increased, which led to the reconstruction of the church. During the work, the roof over the prayer house was removed and an octagonal log structure was built, topped with a high tent roof with an onion dome and a cross. A pediment belt was added around the perimeter of the octagon. At the end of the 18th century, a 35-meter bell tower was built next to the church, surpassing the church itself and changing the appearance of the entire complex. In the 19th century, the church was reconstructed again: it was connected to the bell tower by a covered passage, the windows were enlarged, the walls were clad with planks and painted. The Church of St. Barbara belongs to the type "octagon on a square". Similar structures are common around Lake Onega, for example, in Gimryaki, Kondopoga, Kosmozero, Chelmuzhi, and at the Saminsky pogost. The Church of St. Barbara is one of the first such buildings, consecrated in 1650. In 1865, it was repaired: the log structure was reassembled, the windows in the refectory were enlarged, and new windows were cut in the church and altar. In the 1980s, it was restored, giving the refectory the appearance of the 17th century, leaving one coffered window and making two new plank windows, replacing the roof planks and the covering over the joints of the planks. The strict covering on the roof is not a sign of negligence by the restorers. In Karelia, it was usually smoothed, unlike in the Arkhangelsk region or Vologda, where it was shaped like a horse's head or a bird. The ends of the "chickens" supporting the "streams", wooden gutters for water drainage, were also not decorated, but simply smoothed. In Karelia, only the ends of the "streams" were decorated with carvings, using an axe, chisel, or drill depending on the style of carving. Large axe carvings adorn the "streams" at the junctions of the roofs of the two-entrance porch of the Church of St. Barbara.

The church porch was always decorated especially carefully, as it was in plain sight, greeting parishioners first and serving as a place for announcing decisions of the "gatherings" that took place in the refectory. The open structure of the porch allowed craftsmen to decorate all its elements. The columns supporting the roofs of the entrance porches were adorned with voluminous carvings, while the blind carvings were on the gables, and the cut-out decorations were under the roof between the columns. The ends of the roof planks were decorated with "carved ridges", which created a beautiful shadow on sunny days.

The bell tower of the Church of St. Barbara, built in the 18th century, is a small square base supporting a slender octagonal log structure with an open bell ringing platform, covered by a high tent roof under which the bells were hung. From the passage connecting the church and the bell tower, one can ascend to the ringing platform and study the structure of the bell tower. Initially, bell towers were simple canopies on posts buried in the ground. Later, the posts were surrounded by log structures to reduce rotting. The posts rested on beams inside the log structure, simplifying repairs. The square base appeared in the mid-17th century and gradually increased in height. The church stands on a hill, elongated from east to west and divided by the refectory and passage. The octagonal log structure of the bell tower with a high tent roof dominates the complex. Carpentry skills are evident in the small windows of the refectory and the carved decorations of the porches, although the iron tops of the tents stand out from the overall ensemble.

The church is located in the center of the village and is an architectural dominant. The complex includes the church and bell tower, connected by a porch-gallery. The church consists of a prayer room, altar, refectory, and vestibule. The log structures of the prayer room and bell tower are made in the "octagon on a square" type with tent roofs. The altar adjoins from the east, the refectory and vestibule from the west. The bell tower is located to the west of the church and shifted to the south. The porch-gallery has two covered staircases with carved columns. The roofs of the temple are made of planks, and the altar barrel is covered with shingles. The ceiling of the prayer room is designed in the form of a sixteen-part "sky". Plank and three-coffered windows have been preserved. The decor includes undercuts and carved columns of the bell tower and porch. The complex represents historical and architectural value as an example of the development of tent churches in the Russian North.
