History
The wooden church was built in the second half of the 18th century on the site of the old Uniate church, also a wooden church, erected in 1630. In 1885, a stone bell tower was built, which is also a gate (brahma). In 1902, the church was overhauled [1] [2] .

It is covered by a gable roof, above the altar on the hip roof. The western facade is crowned with a square turret with a head on an octagonal dome. An annex-vestibule of the same height as the main log cabin adjoins the facade. The foundation and base of the church are made of rubble stone, the walls are timbered. The wall cladding is vertical outside, the walls are reinforced with screeds. The side walls are decorated with narrow pilasters with small capitals. The window openings are rectangular.
