The construction of the stone church in the village of Kiryushino, Balakhna district, now Gorodetsky district, began in 1888 with funds from parishioners. By 1786, there were already two wooden churches in the village, which had fallen into disrepair by 1887. In 1897, the right chapel was consecrated in honor of the Nativity of Christ, and the left, in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The main altar was consecrated in honor of the martyr Paraskeva. During the Soviet era, the church was not operational, and it is now transferred to the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church.

The church is located in the center of Kiryushino village and faces south towards the main street. It is situated on the grounds of the village cemetery and serves as a prominent landmark of the settlement. The church and cemetery are surrounded by a stone fence. To the south, there are three-part stone gates with wooden filling, and to the north, a gate. The church and fence are made of red brick, and the church has a symmetrical axial structure. The bell tower, refectory, square part of the church, and five-sided altar apse are aligned along the east-west axis. The dimensions of the plan are 38.6×20.7 m. The outer brick walls are not plastered, showing traces of whitewashing. Decorative elements of the facades are made in brickwork, and the architecture is in the Russian style.

The massive cubic square of the church, covered with four slopes, was topped with five domes, of which only the central light dome and the southeast false dome remain. To the west, a wider rectangular refectory of lesser height adjoins the square, and to it, a square three-tiered bell tower, which lost its tent-like top and small bulbous dome during the Soviet era. To the east, a five-sided altar, covered with five slopes, adjoins the square.

The church is interesting as a specimen of a stone rural church from the late 19th century with elements of provincial eclecticism.

The roofing of the church part has been lost, some interior paintings have partially disappeared, the wooden carvings of the iconostasis are damaged, and the icons are lost. The stoves, floors, and roof of the refectory are destroyed. The brickwork of the outer walls at the plinth level is damaged. The tent-like top of the bell tower with the dome is lost, and the pier at the level of the ringing is destroyed. The historical stone porch on the west side of the bell tower has been replaced with a modern metal one. The filling of the stone fence is lost, there are damages to the brickwork of the gates, gate, and fence, and their coverings are damaged. The side domes of the gates and the dome of the gate are lost. Dense thickets of trees and shrubs around the church hinder visibility and prevent the walls from ventilating.
