In the village of Grafovka, a chapel was built in 2004 in honor of Mitrophan of Voronezh on the site of the destroyed Mitrophan Church of the 19th century.

Originally, the Mitrophan Church was laid in 1843 by Count Abram Gavrilovich Volkonsky and was dedicated to Saint Mitrophan of Voronezh. The main building material was brick made at a local brick factory. The church began functioning in 1854 and, according to contemporaries, was distinguished by its special beauty. The sound of its bells spread throughout the parish.

The church stood for over a hundred years, but it was not always used for its intended purpose. In the 1930s-1940s, the building housed a collective farm storage. During the Great Patriotic War, when the village was occupied, the Germans turned the church into a stable. After their departure, from 1944 to 1948, church services resumed, but in 1956 the building began to be demolished. The bricks were used for the construction of a farm and the walls of a club in Gryaznoye.

In the early 2000s, it was decided to build a chapel in Grafovka. The site for the foundation was consecrated on August 20, 2002, and construction work began two months later. On June 5, 2004, Archbishop John of Belgorod and Stary Oskol consecrated the new chapel.
