Church of Resurection (1720) (left) and Church of Virgin of Kazan (1739) (right). These are right on the market place. The Church of the Resurection replaced an earlier wooden church that burned down. It was the main town parish church. It is simple with windows recessed instead of having decorative surrounds. At the roof line are bands of miniature, keel-shaped kokoshniks and balusters. The octagon sided bell tower one the other hand is richly decorated. Next door, the Church of the Virgin of Kazan was the winter church for this pair.
