The architectural and sacred dominant of the settlement is the Church of the Hodegetria, one of the three wooden churches of the rare ‘tent on a cross-like barrel’ type that have survived in the Russian North. The article presents the author’s expeditionary and archival research, including new materials based on the results of the expedition of 2024.
