In the village, there are two churches: a stone one and a wooden one. The stone church, built in 1796, has two floors. The upper floor houses a summer temple with one altar in honor of the Resurrection of Christ, which gave the village of Voskresenskoe its name. The lower floor, where the warm temple is located, has three altars: in honor of the Sign of the Mother of God, Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, and the Nine Martyrs of Kuditsa. The wooden church was erected in 1875 during the renovation of the stone church and has one altar in honor of Saint Prince Alexander Nevsky. Currently, the wooden church is in a dilapidated state and services are not held there. The feast of the summer temple is celebrated on September 13. Both churches were built with funds from the parishioners. On the site of the former wooden church and cemetery, there is a wooden chapel.
In 1877, a school was opened in Voskresenskoe at the initiative of Priest Alexander Orlov, with his daughter Maria Orlova, a graduate of the Uglich Pedagogical School, as the first teacher. Initially, it was a three-class church school, and in 1902 it became a four-class school. In 1912, the construction of a new school began, which opened in 1914. In 1930, the school became a seven-year institution. Alexander Orlov made a significant contribution to the development of the village, and his grave, in the form of a black marble monument, has been preserved near the altar of the church.
In Voskresenskoe, an estate park has been preserved, where some trees were planted in the late 18th century. Its area now covers about 17.5 hectares, which is ten times smaller than the original size. A pond with islands, a canal, and old trees along the banks has also been preserved, although it has not been maintained for over 50 years.
During the Soviet era, the church was not closed, but services were held irregularly. In recent years, the church has been subjected to robberies, resulting in the loss of rare icons and church utensils. In 2010, bells were gifted to the church, and the sound of bells once again resonated over the village of Voskresenskoe, just as it did 200 years ago.
