Chapel – tomb of the Nekrasov family (1863)

There is a small chapel built of red brick near the church fence of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. According to legend, it was built by Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov as a family tomb. Before the revolution, the grave of the poet's father Alexei Sergeevich Nekrasov was located here, and the first wife of Fyodor Alekseevich's brother, Sofya Ivanovna, and his nephews Nikolai and Maria, who died in childhood, were buried here. In the post-revolutionary years, the tomb was devastated. The chapel building itself survived, but the wall paintings were riddled with bullets, and the gilded stars that decorated the vaults were torn down. Over time, the wooden floor under which the coffins were once installed collapsed, and a deep sinkhole, almost always filled with water, opened to the gaze of a person who stepped onto the threshold of the tomb.

For many years, the chapel was in the saddest condition, but in 2012, Oleg Alekseevich Zharov, an entrepreneur from the village of Vyatskoye, drew attention to it. Since the chapel was not listed on any papers, restoration work could not be carried out. For more than a year, work was underway to register the monument in all instances, and in 2013 it was purchased by entrepreneur O.A. Zharov, and restoration work began on it.

Since July 2016, the first works on groundwater drainage, restoration of the lost chapter and cross of the crypt, and strengthening of the floors of the underground part of the building have been beginning in the Tomb Chapel. The brickwork of the walls was restored. The grave of the poet's mother Elena Andreevna has been landscaped. The murals of the Chapel's interior have been restored.
