Previously, there was a city of Shestakov and the Shestakovsky district. In the charter of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich from 1549, it is mentioned that in 1532 the city of Shestakov was called Verkhny Slobodskoy Gorodok. This document was published in the Vyatka Provincial Gazette in 1854. According to the scribal books of Domozhirova from 1629, there were wooden churches in Shestakovo: the cathedral of Archangel Michael and the church of Nicholas the Wonderworker with a refectory. In the settlement, there was the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a chapel of the Prophet Elijah. The watch book of Otyaev and Ishchein from 1646 also mentions the cathedral church of Archangel Michael, the warm church of Nicholas the Wonderworker, and the Church of the Annunciation with a chapel of the Prophet Elijah. The Annunciation Church was built in 1749 by the decree of the Vyatka diocese from September 22, 1743, after the previous wooden church burned down on March 9, 1743. The new wooden church was consecrated on November 8, 1749, by the decree of the Vyatka Spiritual Consistory from October 27, 1749. In 1763, the wooden bell tower burned down, and Priest Joseph Kataev appealed to the Vyatka diocese for the consecration of the church and the construction of a new bell tower. On August 27, 1770, the Vyatka Spiritual Consistory allowed the arrangement of a chapel in the wooden Annunciation Church in honor of the Holy Prophet Elijah. In 1776, the clergy petitioned for the construction of a new stone temple instead of the wooden Annunciation Church. Permission was granted with the issuance of the church foundation charter from April 19, 1776. The stone temple was built in 1780 and consecrated by the resolution of His Grace the Bishop of Vyatka and Great Perm, Lavrenty. In the same year, at the request of the clergy, the old wooden church was allowed to be dismantled by the decree of the Vyatka consistory from July 4, 1780. The stone temple had two altars: in the cold church of the upper floor in the name of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and in the warm church of the lower floor in honor of the Holy Prophet Elijah. The church was closed in 1935 and now stands in ruins.
