Voskresenskaya church is situated at the Trade Square, opposite the urban trading rows, traditionally known as a place of constant commercial transactions in the past. This church was constructed in 1720 on the very spot where the old wooden version of this church once had been burned by accident. Only one bell has been remained by chance to remind about the existence of the previous wooden church. Judging by the inscription that was found on the surface of it, wooden Voskresen- skaya church had very ancient origin or at least it existed already in the XVI century.The belltower of impressive height, that was constructed at the north-western corner of the parapet ,has a very interesting form. It has an eight-angled framework on the low four-angled foundation and the structure was ended by a spherical roofing and a high spire. Actually this spire makes the belltower of Voskresenskaya church resembling the belltower of the cathedral located within the Petropavlovsky fortress in Saint Petersburg.
