On the outskirts of the city of Bolkhov, in a small cemetery, stands the Church of All Saints in the Land of Russia, built in the mid-19th century.
The main building of the church is a geometrically correct square in one and a half volumes. This is one of the architectural techniques used to increase the height of the vault at that time. To the right of the central entrance is a semicircular apse, and to the left is the refectory.
Currently, the dome of the main building is lost, but from the architectural plan of the complex, it can be assumed that it had a spherical shape with a small drum topped with a cross, which is characteristic of churches in the early Baroque style.
The bell tower of the church is also completely lost. Previously, it consisted of three tiers with rectangular openings on the first tiers and arched windows on the third. The exterior decoration features modest masonry decor around the window openings, while the interior decoration, unfortunately, has not survived.
At the back wall of the church are ancient graves, presumably from the late 19th century.
