The Orthodox parish of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin owns a stone church with three altars, built in 1894. The central altar is dedicated to the Intercession of the Holy Virgin, the right chapel to the icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow," and the left to Saint George the Victorious.
The church was first closed in 1931, and the priest who served in the 1930s was executed. The church remained closed until 1943, after which it functioned for twenty years.
In 1963, the parish was abolished again, and the church building was used as a cultural center and later as a grain storage facility. In 1989, at the request of the parishioners, the church reopened, and the first service took place in May of that year during the Feast of the Mid-Pentecost.
The church has three altars: the main one is dedicated to the Intercession of the Holy Virgin, celebrated on October 1 (October 14), the northern chapel to Saint George the Victorious, commemorated on April 23 (May 6), and the southern chapel to the icon of the Mother of God "Joy of All Who Sorrow," celebrated on October 24 (November 6).
