The stone church in the village of Zhegalovo was built between 1800 and 1812 and was finally completed in 1840 with funds from the local landowner Korolkov and the princes Isheevs, replacing the previous wooden church. It was surrounded by a beautiful cast-iron fence, and nearby stood a monument to Prince I.V. Isheev. In 1903, part of the refectory adjacent to the bell tower was completed with funds from the parishioners. As of 1911, the church library had 61 volumes, a parish school was functioning, and church welfare was active. The staff included two priests, a deacon, and two psalmists. The estate land amounted to 3 desyatinas, meadow land to 15 desyatinas, and arable land to 85 desyatinas, bringing an annual income of 400 rubles. The brotherhood's income was 600 rubles per year, and the clergy had their own houses.

The parish was closed in 1938, and the building was repurposed as a collective farm warehouse. During this period, the iconostasis was removed in an unknown direction, frescoes were destroyed, and the church building fell into a state of partial ruin.

In 1992, the parish of the Intercession Church in Zhegalovo was revived. The church was returned to the parish, renovations began, and regular services started in 1994. Currently, services are held in the winter chapel, which has two altars, one dedicated to St. Nicholas of Myra and the other to St. Mitrophan of Voronezh. The main summer church with the altar in honor of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin has not yet been restored. Services are conducted on Sundays, during major and twelve feast days, as well as on the days of remembrance of revered saints and for the commemoration of the deceased. The church is a monument of 19th-century architecture.
