The parish included the village of Shurskol, the villages of Dubnik and Pashino, as well as parts of other settlements whose parishioners attended the church in the village of Zverintsa and Solovyovo. According to A.A. Titov's book, Shurskol is a village of state administration that has preserved its Merian name. It is located by the Vzderinoga River, 12 versts from the city, and has 54 households and 188 souls according to the census with 163 allotments. The village has a five-domed church with a bell tower, dedicated to the Prophet Elijah and the Nativity of Christ, built in 1790 with funds from the parishioners. Before this, there was a wooden church that was dismantled after the stone one was built.

In 1845, thanks to the donations of parishioner D.I. Kulandin, a winter church with stove heating was built, also dedicated to the Nativity of Christ. During the Soviet era, the church was destroyed.

In 1926, during an inspection of churches, it was described as a stone church with a three-tiered bell tower, surrounded by a stone fence. The building had a square shape, with a semicircular apse and windows on the eastern facade. On the northern and southern facades of the main volume of the church, there were four windows in two tiers, decorated with "Catherine-style" frames in baroque or classicism. Above the four-pitched roof rose five smooth drums without windows, crowned with bulbous domes. The slopes of the roof were semicircular in section. On the western side, a three-tiered bell tower adjoined the temple, which had seven bells in the first half of the 19th century. The largest of them weighed 3316 kg, the second 1128 kg, and the third 229 kg. The 1926 inventory also mentions a set of 7 bells.
