In the village of Boo Terek, located in the Bakai-Ata district of the Talas region, there is a church that was built in 1871, and today it has turned 153 years old.

Sayuzbek Subanaliev, a local resident, shared that this structure was constructed by a wealthy Russian settler.

“At that time, Russians made up 40% of the village's population. The church is made of burnt brick, its length is 25 meters, and its width is 17 meters. Inside the building, there are three rooms,” he noted.

According to Subanaliev, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the church was handed over to the local school, and trees were planted around it. In recent years, this building has been used for storing firewood.
