Кам'яна однобанна Спасо-Преображенська церква - одна з архітектурних домінант Глухова.

Збудована в 1765 році за проєктом глухівського архітектора Андрія Квасова на місці дерев'яної "Заградської" церкви XVII сторіччя, що знаходилася в ті часи за межами міських укріплень. Зразком послужили Трьохсвятительська церква в Лемешах та Вознесенська церква в Коропі.

За радянських часів Спасо-Преображенська церква була закрита, проте в 1980-х роках проведено реставрацію, і в 1989 році храм повернули віруючим.

На стінах вівтаря виявлено унікальний розпис XVIII сторіччя - фрагмент "Таємної вечері".
