The Cemetery Exaltation Church is part of the Trinity Church. It was built in 1794 with funds from the Vyazniki merchant Vasily Iustinovich Vodovozov and the parishioners of the Trinity Church. In 1863, the warm refectory of the church was rebuilt with funds from the Senykov merchants. The church is made of stone and has a bell tower of the same design. There are three altars in the church: the main one is dedicated to the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, while the warm refectory houses altars in the name of the martyr Justin the Philosopher and Michael and Theodore, the Chernihiv miracle workers.
The church is well equipped with utensils, a sacristy, holy icons, and liturgical books. Among the icons, the ancient Korsun Icon of the Mother of God stands out. Services are held on all Sundays and feast days by the clergy of the Trinity Church. There is a capital of 850 rubles to support them.
