The Church of the Epiphany in the village of Pakhotny Ugl has a long history. The first wooden church was built in 1721 and was rebuilt in 1814 and 1841. In 1893, parishioners erected a stone church with three altars: the main one in honor of the Epiphany and side altars in honor of the Holy Trinity and the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The five-domed church could accommodate about 4,000 people. The church was associated with a church in the village of Kazyvanye. In 1886, a church school opened at the temple, which became a men's second-class school for teacher training in 1892. After 1917, the school was closed. There was also a library with 115 volumes at the temple. The church was effectively closed in 1936, and in 1944, a school was placed in its building, later a grain storage facility. From 1944 to 1948, former parishioners submitted five petitions for the church to be reopened, but the authorities did not allow this. In 1949, the church was deregistered as it had not been active for more than six months. In 1954, it was proposed to dismantle the church for building materials, but this decision was reconsidered. In 1989, the church was returned to the believers, and it is gradually being restored. In 2012, prayer houses opened in the villages of Mitropolie, Pribytki, Kazyvanye, as well as in the settlements of Pervomaysky and Smolny.
