The church was rebuilt in 1849 thanks to the efforts of merchant of the third guild Ioann Zakharov Antipov. It was a wooden building with a bell tower on a stone foundation, warm. There was no land for the church estate, but there were 33 desyatinas of arable and hay land used by the clergy. There was also a charitable institution and a shop near the church. There was one altar, dedicated to the Epiphany.
In the 1880s, a strong fire destroyed most of the village and the church. Construction of a new temple began. The contractor gathered folk craftsmen, and pine logs were brought from the village of Petrovskoye, located 15 kilometers away. Stone crosses were laid for the church, and the foundation was made of stone. The gilded domes were visible throughout the area. The church was richly decorated, folk craftsmen and artists painted it, although the construction took several years.
Construction was completed in 1894, and the consecration took place on May 20, 1898. The church was very beautiful, with a green roof and three bells, accommodating up to 800 people. It was famous throughout the region, and residents of nearby villages and towns visited it. Pilgrims even came from neighboring Tatarstan, bringing the possessed from afar.
After 1917, the church was desecrated, the cross and bells were removed and sent for melting. For a time, the temple was empty, then a club was arranged in it. By the end of the 1970s, the building was completely dismantled.
Construction of a new church at the same site began in 1992, and on July 19, 2000, two domes with crosses were raised.
