The village of Kultaево, first mentioned in 1623, was originally called the village of Polish. The renaming occurred after the wooden chapel of John the Baptist, built in the mid-19th century, was transformed into a church. In the past, Kultaево was a prosperous village where Russians and Tatars lived peacefully. The main street, the old Kazan tract, once served as the main road from Perm to Moscow. The village thrived on trade, and merchants often stopped here. To this day, ancient stone houses from the pre-revolutionary period have been preserved along the road. The Church of the Beheading of the Head of the Prophet John, one of the most beautiful buildings in the region, was built from 1903 to 1917 in the Neo-Byzantine style. It is a large brick church with five domes and a bell tower. The church was consecrated 100 years ago, before the revolution. The side chapels are dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul and Saint George the Victorious. The residents took care of the church, built the bell tower, installed the domes, and planted poplars around it. They donated land for the church's economy and built houses for the clergy. The sound of the bells spread across the surroundings, and people from nearby villages flocked to the services. The parish of the church in the 19th century included more than 20 villages and counted 2,314 men and 2,443 women.

The church in Russia has always been the center of social and educational life. The Kultaево church had a library with more than 300 books. Priests worked in church-parish schools and zemstvo schools in the surrounding villages. The church had two priests, a deacon, a psalmist, and a prosphora maker. Eight chapels in nearby villages were attached to it. The construction of the church was a community effort, with residents from the entire volost participating. They helped with labor and money. Georgy Stepanovich Osinovsky, the church elder, took blueprints from the church at the Konets-Bor pier to build a similar one in Kultaево. His daughter Anastasia handled the mathematical calculations, while his brother Maxim, who was passionate about church singing, plastered the church. Maxim died at the front in 1914. The crosses were installed by Maxim Fedorovich Shirin. There were ten bells, the largest weighing 500 poods. The senior bell ringer was Vasily Ivanovich Burylov. The church was painted by a deaf-mute German artist who lived with the Osinovsky family. The construction was carried out by peasants from the village of Zapolie, with Stepan Ivanovich Oshev as the foreman. The construction lasted about 13 years and was completed in 1917.

The church, built on the eve of the revolution, shared the fate of many Russian churches. In 1918, the Bolsheviks shot Archpriest Nikolai Beltyukov and Priest Alexander Savelov behind its fence. In 1937, the church was closed, and during the Soviet era, it was used as a warehouse and workshop. Over half a century, it fell into disrepair. Revival began in 1991, but it took fifteen years for repairs and restoration. The restoration was made possible thanks to the general director of OAO 'Mineral Fertilizers' G.M. Shilov, who was awarded an order for installing the main dome in 2005. The church was transformed and became visible from many kilometers away. Today, the tradition of a pilgrimage to the chapel of Saint Trifon of Vyatka, located 6 km from the village, has been revived.

According to legend, Saint Trifon lived here in the late 1560s, preaching Christianity among the local tribes. A chapel was built at the site of his feat, and an annual pilgrimage takes place on October 21. The church has many ancient icons, particularly revered are the icon of the Mother of God 'Life-Giving Spring' and the icon of John the Baptist, which was hidden by a parishioner in the attic. The icon of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker was used for household needs but is now one of the most beloved. Recently, the church acquired the icon of the new martyrs Nicholas and Alexander. Today, the church is the main attraction of Kultaево and draws the attention of all who travel from Perm towards Ust-Kachka. This remarkable structure is impressive both in architecture and history.
