In the XVIII century the Bogoslovskaya hermitage was founded in the village where there were two churches: stone Assumption Cathedral (built in 1726) and wooden church in the name of John the Theologian.

 

The now existing church of the Dormition of the Mother of God with side-chapels of St. John the Theologian and St. Mitrophan of Voronezh was built in the period from 1838 to 1853. Construction was proceeded in two steps: the temple and the refectory were completed until 1849, the belfry was built in 1853.

 

The architectural appearance of the temple is typical for Empire style: in cubic basis there is a rotunda, covered by a dome, crowned by a low cupola on the cylindrical drum. The temple is decorated with a slender belfry: it is a three-store tower completed by a small bulbous cupola on octahedral drum, which rests on a hemispherical roof with lucarnes.

 

In the interior of the temple some fragments of a painting are preserved, they were painted at the beginning of XX century, when the church passed under the large repair work and it was re-sanctified (1911) in honor of the Kazan icon of the Mother of God. Painting of the temple was carried out by an artist from Palekh I. I. Parilov.

 

Preserved frame of the iconostas, according to the decorative details, was made in the middle of the XIX century. The iconostases of the side-chapels were made later — in the 2nd half of the XIX century.
