The stone church with three altars was built with funds from parishioners and landowners Filimonov and Malyshekina to replace two previous churches, one wooden and one stone. The parish church, consecrated in honor of the Korsun Icon of the Mother of God, is located on a hill on the outskirts of the village and is part of the Degtevo estate, founded here in the early 17th century.
The temple, built in the Empire style, was constructed in two stages from 1802 to 1819. It includes a refectory built in 1802, with two altars in honor of Saint John Chrysostom and Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, as well as a rotunda of the summer church from 1819 with an altar in honor of the Korsun Mother of God. To the west, a three-tiered bell tower adjoins the church, connected to it by a small passage. The cylindrical rotunda was topped with a hemispherical dome with a drum and a small cupola. Inside the round church, some frescoes have been preserved, which also adorned the facades. The entrances to the rotunda from the north and south are decorated with porticoes.
Originally, there stood a wooden church on this site, which was replaced by a stone one in 1754. This church existed until 1801. It is believed that part of the wall with the portal of the earlier church has been preserved at the junction of the refectory and the rotunda.
During the Soviet period, the church building was used as a warehouse. In 1970, an inspection was conducted, photographic documentation was made, and a passport for the object was compiled, but repair and restoration work was not carried out. In 2018, the "White Iris" Foundation initiated the development of a project for urgent emergency and conservation work, and in 2019, conservation measures are planned to be carried out.
