Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos

The Church of the Dormition features Byzantine architecture with intricate stone details and stands as a prominent religious structure in the Gundorovsky region.

Construction of the church began in 1853 after Emperor Nicholas I approved the project, requiring 32,107 silver rubles for completion in 1861.

The religious building demonstrates the architectural preferences of the Russian Orthodox Church in the 19th century through its dual-altar design and traditional elements.

The church maintains regular worship services and functions as an active religious center for the Orthodox community in the Gundorovsky area.

During Soviet times, the building served as a grain storage facility, which prevented its demolition and enabled its preservation until religious services resumed.
