One of the objects of pilgrimage interest in the Ilyinskoye location is the Chapel of the Icon of the Mother of God Tikhvinskaya (Ilyinskoye). One of the peasants of the village of Ilyinsky went to the forest to dig a well to the layers of soil containing water. Inside there are carved images of the Tikhvin Mother of God, as well as a holy font, to which several wooden steps lead.

The devout peasant immediately saw a divine sign in this incident, rejoiced, and built a wooden chapel directly next to the spring. Current conditions of visit and improvement of the territory should be specified immediately before departure.
