Большекозинская Церковь
Church of Archangel Michael in Bolshoi Kozino, built in the early XIX century in the Pseudo-Russian style, was restored in the 2000s.
Now there is a cozy park around the church, and the architectural ensemble with a refectory and a bell tower looks solemn and picturesque!

The wooden church, built under Peter the Great, is actively deteriorating, but is still magnificent.
