Culture

At the entrance to Krapets, a complex brings together a church, a monument, the municipal cultural center, and a ceremonial hall.

The Krapets war memorial was erected in 1922 with donations from local families. Its four sides bear the names of the fallen, the donors, and the builders. The monument is a four-meter-high truncated pyramid crowned by a limestone cross.
