Originally, St. George’s Church was a strong three-story wooden three-throne (St. George, St. Elijah and St. Sophia) building with a bell tower above the vestibule. And the total number of church bells was five: four on the bell tower and one (the largest) was installed on the pillars next to the cemetery. Preserved to this day, the building of the mid-nineteenth century is a typical project in the neo-Russian style, recommended for widespread construction in the great Russian Empire. This five-nave, one-story, three-story building (oriented to the north, south and west) is an octagonal cross in plan.→
