The Tserkva of St. Nicholas was built in 1658 on the southern slope of the village. The three-part log building has an exuberantly articulated shingle roof with three towers prolonged in the western direction. The altar – similar to other Russian churches - faces east. The church property is surrounded by a log fence with a single roof.
On the north side of the nave part of wall painting from the end of the 18th century has been preserved: The Last Judgement and the Calvary. Interior decoration is baroque, white-golden painted. The iconostas and other icons are from the end of the 18th century. In the 1990s the altar, iconostas and icons were restored.
