The Church of the Resurrection of Christ was built in 1750 with funds from the parishioners. It is a tall, pillarless square structure with five domes and a band of kokoshniks under the cornice. The bell tower of the church, one of the tallest in the Yaroslavl region, reaches 33 meters. It is an octagonal columnar structure with a tent roof and a belfry. The church is surrounded by a stone fence with gates, and an ancient cemetery is located nearby. The interior decoration is done in the style of Naryshkin Baroque and second Rococo, with carved iconostases: a five-tiered one in the summer church and a three-tiered one in the winter church.
The church houses a miraculous icon with the relics of St. Panteleimon the Healer, gifted to the residents of Vyatskaya volost by the monks of the Panteleimon Monastery. The icon is known for its myrrh-streaming.
In 1929, during the campaign to destroy churches and remove bells, a decision was made to demolish the church. However, local residents locked it up with heavy locks and petitioned various authorities, successfully defending the church.
Currently, a Sunday school is actively being built in Vyatskoe, although the priest notes that there are fewer parishioners than desired. People often forget to attend church or do not have time. The situation changes in the summer: during the vacation period, many tourists arrive. The church has a modern system, an electronic bell ringer, allowing remote control of the bell ringing. With the help of a SIM card, the priest can send an SMS with the melody number, and the system, using electromagnets and drives similar to car wipers, activates the bells. This creates the impression of a fantastic movie, where the bell ropes move on their own. The church now has nine bells: five new ones were recently added to the four old ones, delivered from the bell factory in Tutayev.
