The village of Baklanskoe is located 25 versts southeast of the city of Shadrinsk, on the left bank of the Miass River. It is situated on an elevation surrounded to the south by the Miass River, and to the north, east, and west by the Baklanka River, giving the area the appearance of an island. Upstream of the Miass is the village of Dolgaya, and downstream are the villages of Odina and Zhuravleva. Nearby are the villages of Barsukova, Plotnikova, and Bobyleva.

The village of Baklanskoe originated from a village of the same name, which was named after the Baklanka River. The village existed as early as the late 17th century. After the construction of a church in honor of Saint George the Great Martyr in 1724, the village was called Georgievskoye for 13 years. However, on May 24, 1737, it was returned to its former name, Baklanskoe.

Before the current six-altar church was built, there was initially a wooden chapel in the village, followed by three wooden churches over a hundred years. The chapel, built in 1713 in honor of Saint Nicholas, lasted eight years. In 1724, the first wooden church was built in its place, which burned down in February 1725. A second wooden church was erected on its site, which became dilapidated after 70 years. Between 1796 and 1798, a third church was built with the main altar in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and a side altar in honor of Saint George the Great Martyr.

In 1815, according to a decree from the Holy Synod regarding the construction of stone churches, a stone two-story church was laid in the village. The construction was completed in 1826, and the altar in the lower warm church was consecrated in honor of Saint George the Great Martyr.

The upper cold church was consecrated in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary on July 4, 1835. The wooden church was sold in 1835 to the village of Pogaday, where it existed until the revolution. In 1857, the construction of the side stone chapels began, which was completed in 1860.

Since 1860, the Baklanskoe church became a six-altar church: three altars on the lower floor and three on the upper. The iconostases in the chapels were installed at different times: first in the lower floor, then in the upper. At this time, the old iconostasis in the main Georgievskaya church was replaced with a new one.

The iconostasis of the Georgievskaya chapel was the first to be consecrated. The right chapel of the first floor was consecrated in honor of Saint Mitrophan of Voronezh on October 18, 1864, and the left chapel, in honor of the Unmercenary Healers Cosmas and Damian and Saint Simeon of Verkhoturye, on November 26, 1865. The right chapel of the upper floor was consecrated in honor of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem on July 4, 1878, and the left, in honor of Saint Sergius of Radonezh, on October 9, 1895.

In the villages of Dolgaya and Bobyleva, there were wooden chapels. In addition to the usual processions, there were two special ones. The first took place on April 23 after the Liturgy to the Baklanka River, where a cross was installed half a verst from the church, marking the place of the appearance of Saint George the Great Martyr, who protected the inhabitants from the Tatars. The second procession took place on June 24 through the village of Baklanskoe, established in 1891 in honor of the cessation of a fire on May 10 of the same year.

In 1915, the priest serving in the church was Father Ioann Snegirev, awarded a finger cross and the Order of Saint Anna of the 3rd degree. The second priest was Emelian Klekovkin, and the deacon was Vladimir Belyaev.

On January 28, 1938, the church was closed by the decision of the Chelyabinsk Regional Executive Committee, and in September of the same year, a seven-year school was opened in its lower floor.

According to the stories of the locals, the paintings on the first floor were destroyed, and the second floor was closed. Schoolchildren were forbidden to go upstairs, but sometimes they still managed to sneak up and see the beautiful church paintings. After the school closed in 1962, the church was used as a grain storage.

In 2006, restoration work began. Recently, the roof over the central chapels has been restored and the windows have been glazed. The side chapels remain open to the winds. A temporary roof has been installed over the right chapels, but there are no windows. In the right chapels, trees have grown from the first floor to the roof of the second floor. The left chapels have only the walls left, whose paintings are being washed away by the rain. Pigeons inhabit the broken walls.

The church is a monument of federal cultural significance and is protected by the state.
