The Church of Saint Vladimir in the Kletnyansky District of Bryansk Oblast is located in the center of the village among typical buildings. After the loss of its bell tower during the Great Patriotic War, it lost its urban planning significance.

The Vladimir Church was built in 1904 by the head of the forestry of Kletnya, Popov, with funds from the parishioners. The project was developed by a student of Princess M.K. Tenisheva, Petrakovsky. Simultaneously with the church, a chapel was built at the cemetery according to his design, which has not survived. The church has a cross-shaped layout: to the east, the altar adjoins the central domed space, with small chapels on the sides, and to the west, a long refectory building, enlarged by a bell tower and clergy rooms. The walls of the church are made of logs, with the interior lined with planks, and the brick base is plastered. The roofs are made of metal.

The basis of the volumetric-spatial composition is the square of the church itself, significantly rising above the adjacent volumes. Its height is further emphasized by four "mansard" extensions with gable tops, the intersection of which is closed by a second, smaller square. This square is covered by a complex roof consisting of a wide overhang and a small octagonal tent. The tent transitions into a faceted neck with a small dome and cross.

If one mentally removes the tent or replaces the dome with a spire, the main volume of the church will resemble a mansion in the "Ropetov" style, which was built near St. Petersburg in the last third of the 19th century. The decor, window frames, columns of gable volumes, cornices, and pilasters on the unlined log wall have a civic character. Inside, the main volumes are connected by arched openings. The central part is covered by a wooden vault in the shape of a truncated octagonal pyramid. The rooms are painted with blue oil paint with white accents. Modern painting is not of interest.

The wooden church in Kletnya burned down in 1981. The existing church was built in a new location. Construction began in 1982 with the blessing of Archbishop Gleb of Oryol and Bryansk, who consecrated the church in April 1983.
