Totma is a historical town which preserved, along with other heritage, several churches which have all similar structure not related to any other region of Russia. A Totma church is a building on which the church proper is based on one side and the bell-tower on the other side so that the construction reminds a ship. This style is sometimes referred to as Totma Baroque. - in: wikipedia
On the card we can see a bit of the Nativity Church (1746–1748) and the Church of the Entry into Jerusalem (1738–1740).
