The village of Krasnogorsk is located 324 versts from Yekaterinburg, on the elevated right bank of the Tura River. It got its name due to its picturesque location. Exact data on the beginning of settlement in this area by Russians is lacking, but it is believed to have occurred no earlier than the first quarter of the 17th century.

Documents regarding the founding of the Krasnogorsk parish and the construction of the first church have not survived. According to tradition, the first church burned down as a result of a "floor fire," which also destroyed church documents. The second church, also wooden, was closed for worship in 1806 due to its dilapidated condition. The antimins were transferred to the sexton of the Verkhoturye Resurrection Church, Fyodor Trofimovich Starcev, and the church itself was dismantled in 1820 by order of the Perm Consistory.

The third stone church was laid on May 31, 1802, with the blessing of Bishop Ioann and consecrated in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord, with an altar dedicated to Saint Catherine the Great Martyr. The altar church was consecrated on February 8, 1804, and the main church on July 4, 1810, renaming it in honor of the Savior Not Made by Hands. Both churches were built with the funds of parishioners under the supervision of Priest Stefan Zemlyanitsyn. The construction cost 5615 rubles and 90 kopecks, for which the parishioners were awarded a commendation from Bishop Justin. In 1821, the church was surrounded by a stone fence, within which a building for the residence of the prosphora baker was constructed, later adapted for pilgrims. In 1874, an altar dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker was added to the church, consecrated on October 28, 1875.

The church houses an ancient Not Made by Hands Image of the Savior, which, according to tradition, appeared to a blind girl on the Tura River. The image returned several times to the village of Krasnogorsk, where it was received with honors. Another tradition links the icon to a fire in Verkhoturye around 1683. The icon floated down the river to Krasnogorsk, where several miracles occurred. Since 1738, the icon has been sent annually to Verkhoturye for prayers.

The Krasnogorsk parish has two stone chapels: one in the village of Tyapkina-Putimka, built in 1898, and another in the village of Putimtseva, built in 1868. There is also a subsidiary Peter and Paul Church in the village of Ust-Salda. The parish includes 35 settlements and has 1595 men and 1696 women. The residents engage in agriculture, fur trapping, timber rafting, coal supply, quarrying and processing of millstones, and gathering pine nuts. Since 1872, a zemstvo school has been operating in the village, and there are three literacy schools in the parish.

In 1932, the church was closed, but in the 1990s it was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church and restoration began. Since 1991, a wooden prayer house has been in operation. The stone church is located in the center of the village on an elevation. It consists of a square base with a five-sided apse to the east. It has altars attached to it. The western bell tower, flanked by porches, has not survived. The main volume is topped with a dome with an octagonal base and a small cupola. The decorative embellishments of the facades have changed after renovations. During restoration, old paintings were discovered under the plaster.
