The Refectory church of St. Sergius (Tserkov Prepodobnovo Serguiya s Trapeznoy palatoy) was once considered a winter church, now it is open in summer as well. One can see an architectural boldness because the vaulted ceiling is held up without bearings. The wall paintings were made in 18th century. The iconostasis of the church is taken from a Moscow monastery and dates from 17th century. One can admire stone carvings on the building.
