Architecture
The space-planning structure of the church corresponds to the canonical four-part scheme: the bell tower above the narthex, the refectory, the prayer hall with side chapels, the apse with side sacristies. The spatial composition of the temple is built around a central two-tier cube-like volume completed with a five-cupal. The side chapels attached to it and the semicircular apse with side sacristies give the temple a cross-shaped layout. A tent-shaped bell tower with a head joins the volume of the prayer hall through a rectangular refectory. Entrance is decided by the porch.
In the decor of the white-stone structure, forms of old Russian church architecture were used - zakomar belt, serrated friezes under profiled cornices, keel-like platbands of arched windows, keel-like tongs and kokoshniks, triple-arcade windows delimited by short barrels.
The hall of the temple is blocked by a cylindrical vault, choirs with a balustrade fence open into its space through an arched gap. The interior of the church is decorated with a single-tier gilded iconostasis with onion-like domes in the center and on the sides, interpreted in neo-Russian style.
Iconostasis
The image of the former dismantled iconostasis is of artistic value: “Forefather Abraham” (1866) “Matthew and Paul”, “Peter and John”, “Andrew and Jacob”, “Judas with the Apostle”, “Deesis”, “Savior”, “Mother of God” with Jesus ”,“ Archangel Gabriel ”,“ Archangel Michael ”,“ The Last Supper ”(19–20 century). Above the entrance, a wide arch reveals choirs with a balustrade fence. The floor is tiled.
