Busyazhskaya Church, an architectural monument of the late Baroque. It was built in 1779 from brick in the village of Busyazh. In the 19th century, it was converted into the Orthodox Assumption Church.
It is solved by a compact rectangular volume covered by a high gable roof. In the 19th century, a low rectangular sacristy was added to the altar wall. The three-tiered facade is saturated with Baroque plastic, completed with a figured shield with side currencies and a four-sided bell tower with a dome cover (the altar wall is completed with the same shield). The facade plane is divided by layered pilasters and completed with a wide profiled and crepe cornice belt. The axis of symmetry is emphasized by the arched portal of the main entrance, the arched window of the choir above it, flanked by arched niches with sculptures of evangelists (not preserved).
The planarly shaped side facades are rhythmically dissected by arched window openings and layered pilasters in the piers. The choir gallery, opened by a wide three-lobed arch, protrudes into the back space of the temple, which is covered by a cylindrical vault with decking.
It's a very pleasant place.

In reality, the temple seems bigger and more ancient than in the photos. The views around are also good, definitely worth a look. And if you also find the schedule of services...
