The only landmark of the ancient Kostroma village is the stone Vladimir Church, built in 1813 and representing a unique architectural monument of the early 19th century. The church was constructed on the site of an older one, the exact date of which is unknown.
The brick building of the church was funded by the parishioners, but the name of the architect who created the church has not survived. The main part of the church consists of a two-light square with a single-domed completion. The bell tower is connected to the square by a wide refectory and previously had an altar dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
During the Soviet era, the church was closed and suffered greatly, in particular, the upper tiers of the bell tower were lost. Only in the 1990s was the church returned to the believers, but it has not been fully restored since.
