Yelyovo, an ancient village founded in 1680 on the right bank of the Belaya Kholunitsa River, no longer exists today. It got its name from the Yelyovka River flowing nearby. The village was also called Petropavlovsk due to the church of Saints Peter and Paul that was located there.

Yelyovo was situated 12 kilometers southeast of the village of Klimkovka. Near the former village, there is a bridge, the road over which led through the forest to the Tamyshev villages. A kilometer upstream along the Belaya Kholunitsa River, at the mouth of the Yelyovka, was the Yelyovskaya mill. Today, the ruins of the stone church of the Peter and Paul Church, built in 1907, remain at the site of the village.

The wooden church, completed in 1757, stood in Yelyovo for about 170 years. It was a single-domed, single-altar wooden temple with a massive bell tower and a squat base. Judging by the chimney, the church was warm. It had a tiered structure of "base on base" with a five-sided altar apse. The upper base had false windows. The octagonal bell tower with a dome-shaped roof was topped with a short spire. The refectory was illuminated by five windows from the south. The log structure was painted dark, with light corner accents. The roof was covered with sheet iron and painted. The drum had a slope, distorting the proportions of the dome. The architectural appearance of the church changed by the early 20th century due to numerous repairs and alterations in the 19th century. The three-tiered carved iconostasis with nine axes had a baroque character. The middle sections of four axes were highlighted by a semicircular curve of the beams. Icons were separated by twisted columns, and the festive rank was divided into two parts by thin vertical ties.

In 1907, a stone five-domed church with a tent-shaped bell tower was built and consecrated in Yelyovo with funds from parishioners. The project was approved by the Vyatka provincial government in 1901. Architectural features and dating suggest possible involvement of V.M. Druzhinin. The church was located in the center of the village on an elevation, well visible in the forest landscape. The crosses with inserted glass reflected light and were visible from afar. On sunny days, the church could be seen even from the Klimkovskoye village of Borovka. The ringing of the bells could be heard in all the villages of the parish. The building was made of brick with white architectural details.

Next to the church was an old cemetery for clergymen. The main cemetery was located to the east of the village, where all the residents of the Petropavlovsk parish were buried. Here you can find the surnames of the residents of Yelyovo and Tamyshevo. Some graves are well-kept even now: descendants of Yelyovo residents come here. The oldest burial dates back to 1892, and the newest to 1978.

Today, the Peter and Paul Church presents a sad sight. The glass in the crosses and windows has long been gone. Four small domes above the altar collapsed in 2001. The wooden roof is broken, rotted, and overgrown with grass and trees. The iron has been removed, the ceiling is covered with green mold, and the bricks have rotted. Inside the temple, where frescoes are still visible, the walls are defaced by vandals. The overall picture is depressing.

Recently, a cross was installed near the church in honor of Priest Mark Ovchinnikov, who began to keep the local chronicle, the oldest in the Kholunitsa land.
