The Resurrection Church is part of the temple complex in the village of Kurba. This five-domed church was built in the early 18th century. The main building of the church, which has a two-light volume, is almost square in plan. A one-story refectory adjoins it from the west. The altar part, located lower, consists of three apses. In 1851, the church underwent reconstruction: some window and door openings were bricked up or enlarged, the refectory was extended, and a warm Nikolsky chapel with heating was arranged in it. The upper part of the church's plinth is highlighted by a ledge, and the window and door openings are decorated with frames with a sandrik. The apses are separated by columns on pedestals, and the cornice of the main volume of the church consists of several rows of ledges.
During the Soviet era, the church was closed and stripped of its domes. It was used as a store and a rural house of culture. Currently, the building is not in use, the heating system is destroyed, and the roof is in an emergency state.
In 2018, an inspection of the church was conducted, and a project for urgent emergency and conservation work was developed. It is planned that in 2019 these works will be carried out so that the church can come back to life, and with the revival of spirituality, the village itself will be revived.
