The parish was founded in 1866, separating from the villages of the Lebyazhye and Petrovskoye parishes, with the establishment of a temporary prayer house. In 1868, a wooden church with one altar in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was built with funds from parishioners, using materials from the disbanded administration. A description of the church from 1891 states that it was wooden with a similar bell tower, clad in planks on the outside and plastered on the inside, but had begun to decay. There was a wooden palisade around it, and the necessary utensils were in sufficient quantity.

In 1892, provincial architect V. M. Druzhinin developed a project for a stone church in the village of Melyanda, which was approved by the construction department of the Vyatka provincial government. In November 1895, the spiritual consistory permitted the construction. In January 1896, bidding took place for the brickwork, which was undertaken by Nolina merchant Pyotr Mikhailovich Bratukhin. Architectural supervision of the construction, which lasted 11 years due to a lack of materials, was carried out by V. M. Druzhinin himself.

In November 1907, the new church was inspected. In the report by junior engineer M. A. Bukhgolts, it was noted that the church was built solidly from quality materials, without deviations from the project. In the western part of the church, wooden choirs were arranged on two beams from the bell tower. The dimensions of the church were 30 meters in length, 21 meters in width, and 22 meters in height, with a three-tiered bell tower of 27 meters.

The consecration of the church took place on November 30, 1907, with the participation of the clergy of the district, Vyatka Bishop Filaret, and a choir from Urzhum. The early liturgy was held in the old wooden church, while the later one with a water blessing prayer was in the new one. The consecration was attended by the chairman of the Urzhum zemstvo administration, the inspector of public schools, and the zemstvo chief. The bishop gifted the church an icon of the righteous Filaret.

In 1918, the church was described as stone, with two doors, wooden and iron. The roof was iron, the fence was on a stone foundation and pillars, with an iron grille. The stone guardhouse was also covered with iron. The church gates had two wickets with iron panels. The iconostasis was unglided with 18 wooden icons.

The church kept metric books since 1886 and confession lists since 1867. Among the notable items were the icon of St. Filaret, a silver gilded ark, a silver censer, and a small ladle.

Since November 11, 1891, a church parish school operated in the village. The Vyatka and Slobodsky bishop visited the village in 1904 and 1914. In the 1920s, a lowly cross procession with holy icons passed through the village from Vyatka. In 1907, priest I. Yergin noted that the village was deaf and poor.

In 1912, the parish included 12 settlements with a population of 3,122 Orthodox Russians and 18 Old Believers. The village was located on a high hill by the Vyatka River, and the area was almost treeless. The inhabitants engaged in agriculture, seasonal trades, and fishing. In the village of Chupraki, residents engaged in banditry in the early 20th century. In 1915, the first Jehovah's Witnesses appeared.

The feast day was celebrated in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, and the Meeting and Michael's Day were also particularly revered. The clergy consisted of a priest and a psalmist. Throughout its history, several priests served, including Father Nikolai Khristolyubov, Father Viktor Luchinin, Father Vasily Agafonnikov, and Father Alexey Emelyanov. The last priest was Father Ioann. In 1930, nuns Feodosia Lazareva and Evdokiya Medvezhnikova were detained in the church and sentenced to three years in camps. The last prosphora baker, Varvara Filippovna Mikheeva, was arrested in 1947 and sentenced to ten years.

In the 1920s, the Melyandinskoye religious society emerged. In 1927, peasants requested to keep the church intact. In 1930, church valuables were confiscated, and archival materials were sealed.

The church was closed in April 1939 when the church council was fined for violating fire safety rules. In response to a complaint from believers, the fine was reduced, but it was indicated that refusal to repair could lead to the termination of the lease agreement for the building. The closure was also explained by the school's need for premises.

In 1948, it was reported that part of the building was used for state grain storage, but renovation was impossible due to damage. The church lost the upper tiers of the bell tower. The building housed a club, then a school. In the 1940s, a prayer house operated in the village of Krasny Klyuch.

The church building still houses a collective farm workshop. In the late 1980s, the farm covered the roof, halting the destruction. In 1992, the building was inspected by employees of the monument protection center, who recommended relocating agricultural machinery.

In the 1990s, rare services were held in the village. In 1998, a cross was returned to the dome of the church, and a festive service was held, but then everything fell into decline again.
