The first mention of the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary dates back to the second half of the 17th century. It was wooden, was taken to a neighboring village, rebuilt in Malye Vsegodichi, but burned down in a fire in 1783. Five years later, at the insistence and expense of the parishioners, a stone church was built in the village in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a chapel in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Over time, it changed: instead of one dome, the church had five, the roof was covered with iron, and the interior walls were painted. Later, another chapel was built in the church - in honor of the Exaltation of the Holy and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord. So the church exists to this day. It has a stone quadrangular bell tower. The main attraction of the church was a figurative wooden cross inserted into a shrine. On its front side is depicted the Lord, on the back – Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, the Savior, the Mother of God and a cherub.
