There is an assumption that the builders of the temple tried to repeat the original form is located near the Dormition Church.

To date remains unsolved mystery about why the congregation decided to build in his village the second temple. It is known that in the construction of the Trinity Church took part in it, because of what rural residents spent a large amount of work. There is an assumption that the former assumption Church demanded not just repair work and full replacement of some components of. Also the number of local residents continued to arrive at high speed, so the place of the old temple was not enough, even on weekdays often the number of people attending exceeded the maximum capacity. Because of the large cost and scope of work the reconstruction of the temple had no expediency, because recovery could take 10 or even 15 years. Probably this was the reason to rebuild the cold Church to slowly and carefully to carry out repairs in the former Church of the assumption.
