He was also the brother of general Jacob Kulnevs, who was the hero of the war against Napoleon (1812.). The Church has an iconostasis with icons of the 19th century. The rectangular building has semicircular niches at its sides. The members of Kulnevs family are buried here. Their graves are located under the floor, and white monuments serve as sarcophagus. The place of tomb is a rare phenomenon in Orthodox churches of Latvia. The church is a national art object, it was repaired for several times. In 1987 there was a fire and the interior was not saved. In 2012 the church was restored with the help of Rēzekne municipality and Russian Government financial support.
