The Preobrazhenskyi (Transfiguration) Church was built in 1814 at his own expense by the colonel of the Russian army, Pavel Oleksiyovich Khandeley, in honor of the victory over the Napoleonic army in the Patriotic War of 1812. The church was consecrated as the temple of Peter and Paul (temple day – August 19 – the Day of Saints Peter and Paul).

In the 1930s, the church was closed, and after the war it was partially destroyed. Later, the premises of the temple were turned into a granary. In 1946, after minor repair work, church services began thanks to parishioners’ donations. Mykhailo Zakora, a resident of the village of Novovyazumske, was appointed abbot.
