The Chapel of the Martyr Leonid is a specific religious landmark within Matveykovo: it is a village chapel affiliated with the Church of the Trinity in the village of Nazaryevo. This affiliation identifies its church connection; it does not mean that the chapel is located in the village of Nazaryevo.

The Holy Trinity Spring is nearby, northeast of Matveykovo. According to local tradition, Orthodox believers developed the spring as early as the 17th century. According to local residents, Orthodox Christians sought healing there through the water: some drank it while praying, while others poured it over themselves or immersed themselves in it. These practices are part of a locally transmitted religious belief. Thus, the traditional development of the spring and the reported use of its water can be understood as two aspects of its religious significance.

The spring grounds include a chapel and two tall crosses on pedestals, built from tree trunks. There are also concrete-reinforced well walls and paved paths. The description therefore includes both religious symbols and structures around the well. The chapel on the spring grounds is a different local feature from the village Chapel of the Martyr Leonid in Matveykovo: the spring is northeast of the settlement, while the Chapel of Leonid is in Matveykovo. Keeping the two places distinct helps clarify which is in the village and which is nearby.

When looking for a hotel for your trip, you can use Matveykovo as your specific destination and include the religious sites as cultural points of interest in your selection. There are two distinct locations to consider: the village chapel in the settlement and the spring nearby to the northeast.
