In the early 20th century, in the village of Ushaki, located at the Nikolaev Railway Station, Novgorod district landowners A.V. Bolotov, A.A. Shreter, and others initiated the construction of an Orthodox church due to its absence both in the village and in the surrounding areas. Their efforts led to the erection of a church in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.

In 1902, the holy righteous John of Kronstadt consecrated the solemn laying of the church, being a secret benefactor of the church as well. On the same day, the church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and Empress Alexandra in Ushaki was consecrated.

According to the "Review of the Diocese 1916", His Eminence Archbishop Arseny reported that "the church at the Ushaki station of the Nikolaev Railway is wooden, single-altar, in the name of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, consecrated on June 1, 1903. It was built by the staff at the Ushaki station with funds collected from charitable donors. The welfare of the church and the school attached to it is cared for by the brotherhood, chaired by the Head of the School Department of the Nikolaev Railway V.V. Skrydlov."

Before the church was closed, its parishioners were mainly employees and workers of the railway station, as well as residents of nearby dacha settlements. The revolution and the subsequent Bolshevik regime did not spare the Kazan church in Ushaki. The last service took place in 1925, after which the building was converted into a House of Culture and club. In the 1970s, it fell into disrepair, and on November 10, 1984, it completely burned down, leaving only the foundation.

Since 2005, with the blessing of Metropolitan Vladimir of St. Petersburg and Ladoga, the restoration of the church began through the efforts of local residents and benefactors. The work was led by local resident Karpik Alexander Ivanovich, who discovered the altar stone that had been used as a step at the entrance to the club. Thanks to his efforts, a cross with the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was erected, which is still venerated by the faithful. Local residents and visitors come to venerate the Cross.

A stone church was built on the old foundation according to the pre-revolutionary design. The domes were ready in 2006 but were installed only on February 6, 2009.

In 2009, a chapel in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was built and opened. Since July 21, 2010, regular services have been held in the church.
