Фото 1
The Church of the Nativity of Christ was built in 1820 with funds from State Councillor Mikhail Adriyanovich Ustinov and was consecrated ten years later, in 1830. In 1931, it was closed and converted into a warehouse. To this day, only the first tier of the bell tower remains. The church building is designed in the classical style. Its large rotunda with a dome crowns a two-light square, to which a semicircular apse adjoins from the east and a refectory from the west. Previously, the northern and southern facades of the square were adorned with triangular pediments, the traces of which are still visible today.
