Church of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God, 1699

The church was built in 1699 at the expense of the Kolychev boyars and parishioners. In the second half of the 19th century, side chapels and a cold temple were built.

At the expense of A.M. Kolychev, in memory of the famous metropolitan, a stone church in honor of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God was erected in 1699 to replace the dilapidated wooden church. This temple has not been preserved to this day.

The current church was rebuilt in 1877-1884. It has two chapels: Three Saints and Andrew of Crete. The miraculous icon of the Mother of God of Smolensk enjoys special veneration among parishioners. This is the most common type of temple in Yaroslavl architecture of that time. Its composition consists of the actual temple (summer, cold church), refectory (winter, warm church) and bell tower.

The temple is built in the immediate vicinity of the Volga River and is designed primarily for viewing from a medium and long distance. A brick church fence from the late 19th century with an entrance gate and an ancient rural cemetery have been preserved at the foot of the temple. Externally, the Smolensk Church is very much in harmony with the Trinity. The temple has never been closed.
