The chapel of the Akhtyr Icon of the Mother of God (Alekseevskoye) is one of the Orthodox places marked for the Alekseevskoye location. The chapel is a pillar with four kiots on the sides, placed on the key, where the Akhtyr icon was washed, which later became locally venerated. Water-holy prayer services are performed here, especially on the patronal feast of July 15, when a procession with the Akhtyr icon is organized from the temple to the chapel: after the liturgy, the image is carried through the streets, a prayer service is served at the source, believers pass under the icon with petitions, and the day ends with a common meal and concert.
A small brick building with a traditional dome is harmoniously inscribed in the coastal landscape, next to the spring, from where water is taken for drinking and washing. Before the trip, it is useful to clarify the state of the access road and the current access mode.
