Situated in the centre of the village, at the crossroads of streets, it dominates the surrounding area. To the north-east of the church, the remains of the estate park with a system of perpendicular alleys have been preserved. In 1800, the central part of the church was built, to which a refectory was later added, and in 1843 - a bell tower. The walls are made of brick with white stone details, the facades are whitewashed. At present, the apse and the upper part of the church have been destroyed, the vaults of the refectory have been destroyed, and the window frames have been knocked off. The stone fence was dismantled in the 1930s. A typical example of a rural parish church with a bell tower in the late classicism style for this region.
It is known that during the construction of the church, an architect fell from the bell tower and was killed. Local residents claim that the bell tower was originally intended to be much higher (by about 2 spans), but then this bell tower would have exceeded the height of the bell tower in Suzdal - and an unknown force killed the architect, preventing construction - large and wide spans abruptly end in a small one - this was not in the plans.
