Church of Elijah the Prophet

The Church of Elijah the Prophet features a traditional Russian Orthodox design with five domes and a square foundation in brick construction.

The religious structure was constructed in 1789 during the reign of Catherine the Great, marking a period of Orthodox architectural expansion in rural Russia.

The church represents a regional heritage site that illustrates the religious practices and architectural traditions of late 18th century Russian Orthodox communities.

Visitors can access the church grounds through the main entrance, which opens to a spacious interior decorated with religious artifacts and traditional iconography.

The church incorporates structural elements from multiple Russian architectural periods, including both medieval and imperial design influences in its construction.
