The temple is beautiful, beautiful and well maintained, the exterior is richly decorated. Visiting this temple brought peace and tranquility to the soul and pleased the eye. The construction of the Intercession Church was completed in 1908 (the architect was Korshikov Vladimir Fedorovich). In 1929, worship services were stopped, and property was looted. The building was not used for its intended purpose, which led to its partial destruction. During the Great Patriotic War, the church escaped significant damage. In 1992, the church was returned to the Orthodox community, after which restoration work began. And in 1994, the temple was consecrated in honor of the Ascension of the Lord. Opposite, across the street, on the banks of the Dvina River, there is an inconspicuous building that was built a hundred years earlier. It was once a church, the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (most of it was dismantled). The construction of the stone church is associated with the war of 1812. According to legend, local landowners made a vow that if the French did not plunder their estates, they would build a temple in honor of God's grace. Nearby, near the Dvina itself, there is a baptismal font and a holy spring in honor of St. Seraphim of Sarov.

The place is magical, giving everyone something of their own. The view of the Dvina river is charming and mesmerizing, the calm flow of the water makes us think about the transience of our lives. The temple itself, standing on a hill, looks very majestic and noble. This is not only a church building, but also a corner where you can simply join something divine.
