      • The wooden St Nicholas church is first mentioned in 1617 in a deed of gift from Tsar Mikhail Romanov.
      • The stone Dormition church was built in 1823–1826 with funds from the merchant Dmitry Lukhmanov.
      • After the closure in 1939, kerosene lamps were made in the St Nicholas church, and during the war bomb shelters were set up in the churches' undercrofts.
      • The old wooden St Nicholas church burned down in 1947; in its place the wooden St Tikhon church was built in 1986.
      • White Lake by the churches is up to 19 m deep, and the deepest spot is precisely in the eastern part, by the church.
