It stands on a high place, on a large square in the center of the disappeared village and is clearly visible from afar. The church with the chapels of All Saints and Guria, Samon and Aviv was built at the expense of the owner of the village S.I. Kupriyanov and parishioners in 1799 on the site of the previously existing wooden one. In 1882, a chapel in memory of Alexander II was built at the church (not preserved). The hipped bell tower, the altar part and the roofs have been lost. The parish brick church is typical of the religious architecture of the Suzdal region, where, in parallel with new forms of classicism, elements of Baroque architecture are steadily preserved. On the walls of the quadrangle, between the tiers of windows and on the western wall, oil paintings from the 2nd half of the 19th century have partially survived: life-size figures of saints, executed in the late academic manner.
