The name of this Yaroslavl village, lost in the forests, evokes thoughts of deep pagan antiquity. On a natural terrace rises the elegant silhouette of the Exaltation Church, built in 1710.

The main part of the church is a baroque square base that serves as the foundation for a tall octagon. To the east, it is adjoined by a polygonal apse, and to the west, a refectory, modern to the church, above the entrance of which stood an original round bell tower-vestibule. Now only the lower part with the internal staircase has survived.

A massive four-tiered bell tower, standing separately, was built in the second half of the 19th century and is executed in the style of Russian classicism. Its completion with a powerful cylindrical volume is likely inspired by a similar structure of the Yaroslavl cathedral bell tower.

A feature of the architecture of the Exaltation Church is the numerous round windows of the upper light. Their presence is not accidental: the frescoes of the church, made with marble imitation and rich stucco, required additional lighting.
