The object dates back to 1738. The expedition of the "Places of Memory-2013" project discovered the already ruined bell tower. This cultural monument is included in the directory "Monuments of History and Culture of the Nizhny Novgorod Region," published under the editorship of Professor V.P. Fadeev in 1980. The authors of the architectural section, S.L. Agafonov and Yu.G. Samoilov, highlighted the local church among the monuments of the Ardatov district of the 18th century as a cultural heritage object of particular interest.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to assess the merits of this object today: due to rotting crowns, the bell tower collapsed, although it still stood in 2010. The dome of the church was lost by 2006. The rich past of the village is recalled by old trees and ponds marked on the Mende map, as well as archival documents.
The village of Vypolzovo was founded by settlers from the neighboring village of Golyatkino. Local historian Alexander Bazaev explains in his book "Historical Information about the Settlements of the Ardatov District" that in Russia, a new settlement founded near a large populated area by its former residents was called a Pochinok or Vypolzovo. In the "Nizhny Novgorod Toponymic Dictionary," N.V. Morokhin provides the interpretation of the name by historian and linguist L. Trube: from the word "vypolz," meaning suburb or the outer houses in a settlement.
The church in Vypolzovo was closed in 1937, and in 2000 it was included in the "State Lists of Monuments of History and Culture of the Nizhny Novgorod Region." However, inclusion of the church in the official lists of monuments did not guarantee its preservation. It should be acknowledged that, like the Trinity Church in the village of Turan in the Vetluzhsky district and the St. Peter and Paul Church in the village of Shokino in the Vorotynsky district, it has become part of a series of losses of wooden Russian architectural churches.
