It occupies a vast area at the crossroads in the center of a large ancient village, spread out on the bank of the Uvod River. Already from afar, when approaching the village, its panorama unfolds with the verticals of the Ascension (1800) and the warm Nikolskaya (1820-30s) churches located to the north above low-rise buildings. The churches are separated by a road - the bell tower of the Church of St. Nicholas serves as a unifying high-rise accent. The separate placement of the churches, previously surrounded by independent fences (morning), turns the section of the street between them into a small square. The gatehouse (early 20th century), attached to the Church of St. Nicholas, faces here with its façade, and from the southeast the square is limited by a small two-story building of the zemstvo council of the same time. All the buildings are brick, the domes of the churches and bell towers have been lost. The temple complex plays a decisive role in the spatial and silhouette composition of the village, reflecting different stages in the development of Baroque and Classicism in the architecture of the south of the Ivanovo region.
