St. Barbara Church

St. Barbara Church presents a cross-shaped structure with a four-sided central dome featuring beveled edges and four windows on each side of the building.

The initial wooden church from 1781 burned in 1876, leading to construction of the current stone building, which received consecration on October 21, 1884.

The church maintains two separate chapels, one dedicated to St. Barbara and another to St. George the Victorious, displaying numerous religious icons inside.

The church includes parking facilities, operates a Sunday school program, maintains a library collection, and remains open for regular religious services.

Despite attempts to remove religious symbols during the Soviet period, local residents protected the church from closure and preserved its original architectural elements.
