The warm stone church of the Icon of the Mother of God in the style of "pseudo-Gothic" was founded in 1768 by the owner of the guard estate, captain Yakov Afanasyevich Tatishchev (1725-1806). The church was built and consecrated in 1794. According to the church, the village was called Znamenskoye. The author of the project was the then young architect Vasily Ivanovich Bazhenov (1737-1799), although a number of researchers question the authorship. The church is made of red brick and richly decorated with white stone elements. Initially, the bell tower stood separately, but then it was connected to the main building. During the years of Soviet power, the church did not function since 1932. Repair work began in 1987, the temple reopened only in 2003. While restoring the architectural monument, specialists took care of the surrounding area - they made a new fence, paths and renewed landscaping. Visiting the Znamensky temple, tourists are often interested in the fate of the Tatishchevs' estate next door. Unfortunately, only a beautiful turret and the ruins of a chapel with a family tomb remained from it.
