The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, built in 1794, is a small temple with one dome and a semicircular apse. A description from 1839 states that the summer church has a stone foundation, a wooden upper part covered with iron, a stone bell tower, and a wooden fence with towers around the cemetery. In 1845, the Vologda archbishop, who visited Gryazovets, ordered the construction of a warm refectory next to the church and to surround it with a stone fence. Soon, an extensive Nikolsky chapel appeared by the southern wall of the temple. In 1930, the church was closed, and the upper tiers of the bell tower were dismantled. However, in the 1940s, the temple was returned to the parishioners. The exterior appearance of the Church of the Exaltation is quite modest. The main decorative element is the window frames in the form of a simple border with a keystone.
