Description of the temple
The wooden one- altar church in the name of Seraphim of Sarov was founded in 2003. The consecration of the temple and the first liturgy were held in the summer of 2003. And in 2009, on the territory of the parish at the main entrance, a monumental bronze sculpture was erected to the God-pleaser Seraphim revered here.
