In 1896, a new church was built in the settlement, thanks to the efforts of the parishioners, and consecrated in honor of the Assumption of the Mother of God. The church also had two altars dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker and Saint Archangel Michael. The building was made of brick, with six domes covered in white tin and adorned with pierced iron crosses. The church was single-story, unheated, with 24 windows and an open porch.
Next to the church, a three-tiered bell tower was erected, housing four bells, the largest of which weighed 85 poods. The iconostasis in the church was wooden and gilded, with the main one being three-tiered, and two others being two-tiered, containing a total of 60 icons. The church was surrounded by a fence. Since 1896, a church parish school operated at the church. In 1931, the church was closed and repurposed as workshops for the MTS. During the Great Patriotic War, services in the church resumed.
In 1998, the Assumption Church was recognized as a monument of cult architecture of regional significance and placed under protection.
