The famous Church belongs to the churches type "octagon on square". Such buildings near lake Onega considerable amount, but only Varvara Church is one of the earliest buildings of this type. Lighting of the Church occurred in 1650. Originally, the Church was a cell-like and consisted of several rooms – prayer room, the altar and the refectory.

At the beginning of the 18th century greatly increased the number of villages that have been assigned to the parish, and that was an important reason for the restoration in 1865. During the repair work was enumerated frame, Rusticana window in the refectory and re-cut window in the Church room. The following restoration work has occurred in the 80-ies of the 20th century, when the refectory of the Church acquired the appearance of the 17th century.

Strict helmet, located on the roof is not the carelessness of restorers, just in Karelia often gave him the shape of the head of a bird or horse and more carefully amasyali, not decorating. With regard to structural elements of the roof, in Karelia was taken to decorate decorative thread ends only "ceilings". The carving was carried out by means of a chisel, axe, rarely used a rotation that depended on the style of the planned thread. Thread applied several types: planar, which was scheduled for the next review; volume, which was clearly visible from long distances and large clumsy, which were decorated ceilings, located on the broken roofs of lockers porch of the temple.

From this place you can see all zaonezhskoe and gave a detailed examination of the design of the bell tower, which holds within itself its own history.

At the base of the bell tower could be up to nine poles, because what their number is, the more stable the bell tower, especially when podgryvanii. Later the pillars were enclosed with the log. For the smallest podgnivaniju pillars, they were not put on earth, and in the log or on it. The pillars had a support on the beam and were trapped by the frame that did not contribute to the decay. If there was podgnivaniju frame, then you could just replace the crown of the locations below, which greatly simplified the process of repair. This kind of design can be seen on Endometerial the bell tower. The quadrangle, which is located at the base, appeared in the 17th century and had several crowns. Later the number started to increase, reaching half of the belfry frame.
