Externally, the Church of Saint John the Theologian in Stebachevo looks like an unremarkable temple of the XVII century, and the fact that it was actually built towards the end of the XVIII century does not play into its hands at all.

But a hapless traveler who happens to be in the village will be amazed if he enters the temple - a century late architecturally, the church has made up for the lost time with its decoration, which miraculously survived through the Soviet years. The interior of the church is made in the Baroque style, and the lack of stucco, generally typical for Russian churches, is compensated here by the richest iconostasis - not at all rural.
