Previously, the village was called Novotorzhskoye and was located 175 versts from the diocesan city and 45 versts to the northwest of the district city, on both banks of the Krutikha River, which flows into the Iset River.

The village got its name from the surname of the first settlers, Novotorzhenovs, which is still preserved in the parish. The founders of the village, judging by the special veneration of Saints Macarius of Zheltovodsk and Procopius of Ustyug, were immigrants from the inner provinces of Russia, mainly from Vologda and Nizhny Novgorod provinces.

Exact information about the founding of the village of Novotorzhskoye has not survived, but it is known from the documents of the former Dolmatov spiritual administration that in 1765 there was a wooden chapel here in the name of Saint Macarius of Zheltovodsk. The village of Novotorzhskoye was part of the Krutikha parish. In 1770, the village was designated as an independent parish, which also included the village of Yurovskoye, and in 1787, the village of Bryukhovo, located 7 versts to the east, joined. All these villages previously belonged to the Krutikha parish.

Currently, the parish includes exactly these villages.

The first church of the village of Novotorzhskoye, laid in 1770 and consecrated in 1773 in the name of the venerable Macarius of Zheltovodsk, was wooden. It existed until 1823, when it was dismantled due to dilapidation. In the same year, a new stone two-altar church was built in its place. The main altar in the name of the venerable Macarius in the summer church was consecrated in 1844, while the winter altar on the southern side in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was consecrated much earlier, shortly after the laying.

The church is distinguished by the elegance of its architecture and strict proportionality of its parts. Inside, it also stands out for its splendor, with walls covered in paintings. The iconostasis of the summer church is four-tiered and fully gilded.

In 1854, the church was enclosed by a stone fence with iron grilles and marble pillars.

Within the parish are two chapels: one stone in the name of Saint Procopius of Ustyug the Miracle Worker in the village of Yurovskoye, and another wooden one in the village of Bryukhovo, consecrated in 1871 in the name of Saint Tikhon of Amathus.

The church owns a semi-stone two-story house for the priest with outbuildings and two wooden barns covered with shingles for storing church bread and other property. In the village of Bryukhovo, there is a literacy school, and in the village itself, there is a zemstvo primary school.
