The history of the village of Pechelkah goes back into the distant past. It is known that in the early 17th century it belonged to Prince Vasily Telyatevsky, and later passed into the possession of the Pushkin family. Over time, Pechelkah frequently changed its owners.

In the mid-19th century, the village was owned by Countess Kutaysova. A landowner, A. A. Kazarinov, also lived in Pechelkah, who was acquainted with the famous Russian writer Nikolai Nekrasov.

The village of Pechelkah may attract attention due to the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, an architectural monument of the 18th century, built in 1765 with the funds of the parishioners. Previously, there was a wooden church in the village, which unfortunately burned down. Pechelkah repeatedly suffered from fires; in the mid-20th century, there were two major blazes. In the 1950s, fire destroyed most of the houses, leaving only a few buildings intact. After the fire in the 18th century, a woman digging in her garden saw an icon of Nicholas the Wonderworker, and it was decided to build a stone church at that site. Later, May 22, the day of Nicholas, became the first patronal feast in the village and its surroundings. The found icon took a place of honor in the church, being adorned with a large bronze robe and located on the southern wall of the winter church next to the altar.

In 1936, when they came to remove the bells, the residents gathered at the bell tower to prevent this. Yulia Ivanovna even locked the bell tower, refusing to give up the keys. However, the lock was broken, and the bells were thrown down. When the largest bell, the chime bell, fell, a loud sound was heard, and it shattered into pieces. Some parishioners tried to collect the shards, but they were dispersed. It was said that there was a lot of silver in the bell. In 1937, the chairman of the village council forced people to demolish the church fence to use the bricks for building a farm. The brickwork was easily broken, but there was not enough brick, and it was decided to blow up the bell tower. This was done at night so that no one would know. However, the bell tower did not crumble into bricks as expected, but turned into a pile of rubble. The masonry turned out to be very strong, as egg yolk and shell were added to the cement.

As a result, the church was destroyed, and the farm remained in ruins.
