Tserkov' Uspeniya Presvyatoy Bogoroditsy

The unplastered brick building is a typical example of a cult building of the early 20th century, related to the retrospective direction of Russian architecture of this time. The volumetric composition of the monument is compact and graceful. The church is located away from the village on the banks of the small river Renya. The volumetric composition consists of a one-headed quadruple of the temple, to which lowered chapels adjoin from the south and north, from the east - three semicircular different-sized apse, from the west a small vestibule and a bell tower. The massive first tier is elongated in the transverse direction. A squat chetverik was put on it, serving as the basis for the octagonal tier of ringing. Crowns the bell tower with a small tent with decorative rumors and a bulbous cupola. Two entrances lead into the building, one through the south aisle, the second through the first tier of the bell tower on the west side. The exterior decoration of the facades is diverse, but stylistically one. It is based on architectural forms of Russian architecture of the 17th century, but greatly simplified and coarsened. The side facades of the aisles have a three-axis composition. The corners are fixed with blades, which are decorated with flys and kokoshniks above the crowning cornice. Arched openings are framed by half-columns with intercepts and curly keeled tops, combined by horizontal traction. Profiled cornices with belts of widths, towns, rods and rivets, keeled archivolt and kokoshniki, shovels and half-columns - all these elements are repeated and vary on the rest of the building. The layout and internal structure of the church are unusual for the monuments of its time. The temple’s low square space, covered by a cross vault, is connected by wide arches with the premises of the aisles and the narthex. Aisles are covered with box arches. The interior is decorated with drawn cornices and picturesque floral ornaments. I. Dobrovolsky Tver diocesan statistical collection.
