History
The church was built in 1912 according to the project of the provincial diocesan architect A. Shpakovsky, established in 1907. At the same time, the wooden church that existed on this place since 1639 was preserved and moved [1] [2] .
Architecture
The wooden church was built in modern style. Compositionally the building consists of four parts: a porch with a belfry, an intermediate volume, the main volume (prayer hall) and a pentahedral apse. The main volume is covered with a hipped roof, above which there is an octahedral drum. The drum is crowned with a tent with a head and four turrets in the corners, which are placed on brackets and hang over the drum. The belfry has been cut into a corner, slightly protruding from the volume of the porch. The windows of the church are decorated with carved patterned platbands (outside) and carved framing (inside). In the interior of the church, the main volume is connected by arched openings with the intermediate one, where the choirs are located, and with the altar part. The aperture of the main entrance is rectangular, above it a gable canopy on figured brackets. The church preserved the image of the XVIII — XIX centuries. [1] [2]
