Architecture
The church is made in the style of early classicism, and its architect, judging by the originality of the building, was most likely metropolitan, Petersburg, master. The church is two-storied, in the western part a through chetverik of the bell tower ringing rises, culminating in a thin spire on a figured pedestal. The eastern part is decorated with two vases with stucco garlands located on the sides of the drum head, which looks very unusual for a church building and makes it resemble secular buildings [2] .
