In the Kostroma region, there is a characteristic parish rural church in the baroque style. The brick church, covered with plaster and consecrated in the name of the Resurrection, was built in 1776 with funds from the parishioners. At the end of the 18th century, a magnificent gilded three-tiered iconostasis with fine carvings, made in the baroque style, appeared in the interior of the church, as well as iconostases for the chapels. In 1886, thanks to the funding from the Soligalich merchant P.M. Mikhalev and under the guidance of provincial architect Ivanov, the church's refectory was rebuilt, and the warm chapels were expanded. At the same time, a small closed porch appeared in front of the western facade of the bell tower. The church had five altars: the main one in the name of the Resurrection, the chapels of the church, St. Sergius of Radonezh, and Florus and Laurus, as well as chapels in the refectory, in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, St. Demetrius of Thessalonica, and Metropolitan Peter. The cemetery area, rectangular in shape, was surrounded by a partially preserved brick fence with gates located on both sides of the bell tower. It is believed that the fence, made in the baroque style, appeared in the mid-19th century. Behind the fence were the clergy's houses: a stone house along the western side and three wooden ones, as well as two wooden houses on the northern side. At the end of the 19th century, a log watchman's lodge was built to the southeast of the church, and in 1908, a brick chapel-tomb over the grave of priest Kastorsky appeared to the northeast. The complex is located on the northern outskirts of the village, with the altar part of the church facing the bank of the Kostroma River.
