The church, characteristic of the eclectic period, is built in the Russian-Byzantine style and constructed of brick without plaster. The main cubic building has a lowered rounded apse and a small refectory, to which a low porch with a semi-cylindrical roof, added later, is attached. The facades are decorated with brick decor featuring joint stitching, stylized in the forms of the 17th century. The walls of the cube are divided by pilasters into three parts with narrow windows at the bottom, located in arched niches, and recesses of the type of wide openings above. Wide decorative arches with two rows of teeth in the archivolts occupy the middle sections, framing pairs of windows. The upper part of the panels is completed with a city-like frieze and a cornice with flat dry bricks. The altar, refectory, and porch are adorned with arcature belts under the cornices. Above the entrance to the porch, decorated with a curved canopy, there is a round window in a semicircular pediment, framed by an archivolt on consoles.
