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

Sayuzbek Subanaliev, a local resident, shared information that this church was erected by one of the wealthy Russian settlers.

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

Subanaliev also added that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the church was transferred to the local school, and trees were planted around it. In recent years, the building has been used as a storage for firewood.
