how to get there

Inside the rood beam supports a 19th century rural-style crucifix. On the wall we can see the cross which originally was at the top of the iconostasis. Other artefacts from the tserkva: the altar cross ornamented with mirrors from 1887, a 19th century procession float and a figure of the Holy Mother. In the main nave we can see a 19th century painting of Christ carrying the cross, a baptismal font with a cover, from the 1600s. In the side altar there are icons of the Mother of God Pokrov, and of St. Demetrius. On the left there is an altar with an icon of St. Nicholas and a scene of baptism in the Jordan.
