The village of Davydovka, located in the Chernava volost on the banks of the Upper Chernaya River, held the Philip's Fair annually from October 7 to 10. Initially, it was part of the parish of the Prokopyevskaya church in the village of Chernava.
In 1848, the old settlers from the village of Davydovka and migrants from the Oryol, Kursk, and Pskov provinces, living in the villages of Patrakova, Osinovka, Petrovka, and Kazanskaya, appealed to the Tobolsk Spiritual Consistory with a request to build a new church due to the distance from the nearest churches.
On August 23, 1849, a decree was issued for the construction of a wooden church in the name of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, which allowed for the establishment of an independent parish. An old wooden church from the village of Paderinskoye was purchased for this purpose.
On May 14, 1850, the priest of the Prokopyevskaya church, Dmitry Dobrokhotov, conducted the solemn laying of the Davydov church. The contractor for the construction was the peasant Illarion Menshikov.
On February 22, 1853, an antimins was sent from Tobolsk, and on June 9 of the same year, the church was consecrated by priest Nikita Rozanov.
By the end of the 19th century, the parishioners decided to build a larger stone church with three altars: the main one in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God and two side altars in honor of Saint Nicholas and the Venerable John of Rila. In 1905, one of the altars was renamed in honor of the Apostle John the Theologian.
In January 1897, permission was received from Tobolsk to build a new church. The initiative was supported by Father John of Kronstadt, who donated money, a silver cross, a covering, and an icon of Saint Theodore. The contract for the iconostasis was awarded to merchant Rafail Trubitsin.
On October 18, 1912, the central altar of the church was consecrated.
In 1913, the old wooden church was sold to the village of Pavlovsky. On December 27 and 28, 1913, priest Nikolai Sakharov consecrated the side altars.
In 1913, the parish of the Kazan Mother of God church included the villages of Osinovka, Patrakova, and Alexandrovka. In 1930, a procession was held in the village of Davydovka, attended by about 3000 people.
In 1933, the Kazan Mother of God church ceased its activities.
