The church was built with funds from parishioners to replace the wooden church that burned down in 1886, which had a warm chapel of Athanasius and Cyril and was consecrated with the same dedication. It is the only surviving wooden church in the area. It is designed in an eclectic style with elements of traditional Russian architecture by engineer-architect A. S. Andreev, possibly using standard blueprints. The church is located on a separate plot in the central elevated part of the village, from where there is a picturesque view of the surrounding forest landscape.

The wooden single-altar church of the cell type, hewn with remnants, has survived in a ruined state. The single-domed completion, the upper tier of the bell tower, and the porches have been lost. The plank cladding of the lower part of the log cabin and the roofing of the altar have been dismantled. The floors, ceilings, and fillings of the openings have not survived. The foundation and plinth are made of large limestone blocks with a slab-like texture. Between the plinth and the covering crown, a layer of waterproofing from rock has been preserved. A structural feature of the 'black' floor is the presence of a solid log covering of small diameter.

The large square under the eight-pitched roof with dormer windows is complemented from the east by a five-sided apse. On the western longitudinal axis, there is a shortened refectory under a gable roof and a two-tier rectangular base of the bell tower, above which rise eight columns of the ringing tier with a deaf enclosure. The walls are pierced with rectangular openings with framed casings, and simple panels are applied to the bell tower enclosure. The cladding boards are about 200 mm wide and are processed with a chamfer along the edge. The exterior decor is made in the form of a simple pattern.

In the interior of the square, a fragment of a typical eight-section 'ceiling' has been preserved, the top of which is covered with thin boards. The refectory had a flat ceiling on beams, and between the square and the refectory, there is a wide arch of a radial outline. The altar is connected to the church by a wide opening and covered with a flat ceiling. Traces of lime plaster have only survived in the narthex. On either side of the narthex are two compartments: one had a staircase to the bell tower, and the other was a utility room.

The village is located on a high steep mountain in a forested area, with no rivers nearby. There is a zemstvo school in the village. The residents engage in agriculture, in winter they harvest timber for industrialists and hunt forest game and animals. Among archaeological items, there are two antimins from assigned churches: one at the Vladimir church from 1773, consecrated by Bishop Bartholomew, and another at the Sretensky Monastery from 1709, consecrated by the Archbishop of Vyatka and Great Perm.

The Kichanovskaya Ilyinskaya church, by the decree of the Holy Synod in 1909, was turned into an independent parish with the opening of the Kichanov parish. The village is located among forests and swamps on a low mountain. There is a church-parish school in the village. The residents engage in grain farming, and in winter, they harvest timber, which is floated down the Porysh River to the mouth of the Kama in spring. In autumn, many hunt fur-bearing animals and game, as well as gather lingonberries, which are purchased in various cities under the name 'Kayskaya.'
