The Vladimir church, built between 1783 and 1800, is currently undergoing repairs and restoration but continues to function. It housed revered images of the Kazan and Vladimir icons of the Holy Virgin. Next to the church is a small cemetery.
The church is a two-story brick building designed in the style of provincial classicism. Construction began in the second half of the 18th century: the lower church was completed in 1783, and the upper one in 1800.
The main part of the temple is a column-free two-light square topped with a small five-domed structure, featuring a three-part apse and a refectory connected to a multi-tiered bell tower. The upper church is dedicated to the Vladimir icon with a Kazan chapel, while the lower, warm Nikolsky church has chapels dedicated to All Saints and St. Friday. The church was closed in 1934, according to other sources, in 1940, and was used as a warehouse for a long time.
In 1997, the Vladimir church was returned to the faithful and is currently in the process of renovation.
