The Church of Varvara the Great Martyr is an Orthodox church in the east of Plyos, a courtyard of the Nikolo-Shartomsky monastery.The temple is located on a hill near the banks of the Volga, at the foot of Mount Levitan. The construction of the church dates back to 1821, this is the reliably known time of the construction of the bell tower. In 1702, an antimension was issued to the Varvarinskaya church, but it is not known whether it was a wooden temple or the current stone one. The ancient dating of the temple is evidenced by the artistic poverty and archaism of its exterior in comparison with the decoration of the bell tower. The temple is a “ship” structure, where the altar apse faces east and the bell tower faces west. The main volume is an austerely decorated two-tiered quadrangle. Its rectangular windows in whitewashed brickwork are decorated with sandriks and window ledges, on the upper tier there are also frame platbands. On the border of the tiers there are round niches, the former altars of the side-altars. Above the eaves with denticles there is a four-pitched symmetrical roof. It has 5 heads on deaf drums, blue in the corners and a gilded central one. Before the reconstruction of the beginning of the 21st century, the domes were "scaly", just as there was no breakdown by color.
