It is known that in the 18th century the church was wooden, and according to local tradition, with one altar in the name of St. and Miracle Worker Nicholas. This wooden church burned down at the beginning of the 19th century with all the icons and ancient documents stored in it. In its place, through the zeal of parishioners, a stone, five-domed church was built in 1810. At the same time, a stone tent-roofed bell tower was built at the church.
This church is cold, it exists in its original form, without significant external and internal changes. The crosses on the domes are iron, eight-pointed, with crescents under them. The iconostasis in the church is of a new design, with columns and rococo carving, 6-tiered. The walls inside the temple are painted with picturesque writing.
The peasant Sibirev built two stone buildings at his own expense at the corners of the western fence: an almshouse and a church gatehouse. In 1867, the same cross. Sibirev built a stone bell tower at his own expense; the material for the bell tower was partly the almshouse and the guardhouse, which Sibirev had dismantled. In 1868, the bell was moved to the new bell tower, and only the guard bell was left on the old one.
The warm Epiphany Church, separate from the cold one, was built in 1835 at the expense of parishioners, of whom the peasant Sibirev, who was the church warden at the time, donated especially much for the construction of the church.
