In 1907, a new wooden church was built on a stone foundation in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, replacing the old dilapidated church. The church has a traditional longitudinal axial composition: to the east, a five-sided apse adjoins the square, and to the west, a refectory of equal width, connected to a narrower three-tiered bell tower. The church's decor is executed in an eclectic style with elements of 'Russian' style. Notably, the kokoshniks adorning the bell tower's dome stand out; similar kokoshniks previously adorned the dome of the octagon of the church, which has now collapsed. The decor is complemented by figured overlay frames on the walls and stepped dry loaves on the cornices. Inside, the sails retain metal paintings depicting the evangelists.
