The stone Kazan three-altar church at the estate (the only one that has survived to this day) and the two-tier bell tower under it were built in 1759 at the expense of the Life Guards of Captain Lieutenant Fedor Alekseevich Griboedov, apparently in the same place where the former Kazan Church stood information about which has not been preserved. Over the years, representatives of noble families made contributions to the church: the Griboedovs, Likoshins, Volkov-Muromtsevs and the princes of Warsaw, Paskevich-Erivan. The fact that the Kazan Church was not only the center of the parish, uniting 32 villages before 1795, and later 23, but also the Griboedovs house church, is also evidenced by the donations of members of the whole family, and the fact that graves were located in the chapel of John the Baptist the owners of the estate: Fedor Alekseevich, Alexei Fedorovich and the son of Paskevich - the boy Mikhail. Among the icons of this temple, some were revered as miraculous: the Kazan icon of the Mother of God (preserved from the old church), her face "is depicted in large lines on a canvas pasted on a tree, the icon of the Mother of God of Smolensk" letters of the ancient "until 1833 was in the house of landowners Griboedovs, but this year, when the last descendant of the Griboedov’s surname died, she was transferred to the temple; Icon of the Mother of God “Recovery of the lost”; the icon of St. Nicholas, "revered by the people for the miraculous, and in previous years, as they say, there was a large gathering of pilgrims to her, but why this ceased is unknown." The church was closed in 1937, in 1943 the bell tower was blown up by the Germans, later the refectory and the altar were dismantled into brick, only the main volume survived until the 1970s. In 1982-1992 it was mainly restored, in 1992 it was returned to believers, in the 2000s the bell tower was restored.

In honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God with chapels in the name of the Beheading of the Head of John the Baptist and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Built in 1759-1767 at the expense of the Life Guards Captain-Lieutenant Fedor Alekseevich Griboedov. In the second half of the 1930s, the temple was closed. The refectory and the bell tower are destroyed. The parish was reopened in 1992. The church is gradually being restored.

Homestead church, organically woven into the interior of the estate of Griboedov. Unfortunately, the church has not yet been fully restored.
