The Assumption Church, like the temples, stands on the site of several generations of wooden churches. Rather, two churches - cold and warm. The existing church was built at the expense of parishioners in 1781 and consecrated in honor of the Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles, with warm side-chapels in the refectory in honor of the Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos and the Three Saints. As often happens in the North, the people began to call the temple not by the main altar, but by the warm side-altar - the Assumption. Sometimes they write that the church was built in the style of classicism. In fact, it is clearly seen that stylistically the church continues the traditions of the local "poor" Baroque. But the bell tower was really already classicistic, since it was built later than the temple itself, at the beginning of the 19th century. The bell tower, unfortunately, has not survived - it was collapsed in 1939-40, and the church itself is in a rather deplorable state. In Soviet times, there was a food workshop.
