The town has a working military airbase with developed facilities that improves connectivity to other regions. Access to the base is restricted, so check locally before planning any visits to the area.
The Church of the Intercession was designed by a prominent architect and consecrated in 1915 with distinctive architectural features. The building served as a warehouse for many decades before being restored and reopened as a place of worship in 2001.
