Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

The Orthodox Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is an example of popular wooden architecture, built in 1810. In 1880, a bell tower was built above the church and a vestibule was created at the entrance. The church is surrounded by a low wall, the façade of which is best preserved. In the early 1960s, the atheist authorities closed the church and banned worship. Since the 1990s, the church has been restored and is in good condition.
