The village of Bolshaya Brembola, located by the Veretlyanika River, is situated four versts from the district town and 122 versts from the provincial capital. In the 17th century, according to the census books of 1678, the village belonged to various landowners: the chamberlain Relat, Pyatov, Vyazemsky, Plokhov, Chevkin, Sumarokov, Kosterin, and Cherntsov.

The church in Bolshaya Brembola existed as early as the beginning of the 17th century. In the patriarchal salary books of 1628, it is mentioned as the church of the holy prophet Elijah. In 1706, with funds from the owner A. I. Yanov, the current stone temple was built to replace the old wooden church. The church has three altars: in the cold part, in the name of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity, and in the warm chapels, in honor of the Protection of the Mother of God and the holy prophet Elijah. The church is well supplied with utensils, vestments, holy icons, and liturgical books. Among the ancient sacred items is an altar cross with 11 relics of saints and a Gospel published in 1677, gifted by the landowner Yanov.

Church documents have been preserved in full, including copies of metric books from 1780 and confession lists from 1829. The church staff includes a priest and a psalmist. Their salaries are covered by interest from the parish capital amounting to 70 rubles from 1750 rubles, income from arable and hay land of 135 rubles, grain collection of 30 rubles, and services and requirements of 210 rubles, totaling 445 rubles per year. A public house has been built for the priest, while the psalmist lives in his own house.

The land plot by the church includes 1 desyatina 100 sazhen of homestead land, 29 desyatins 146 sazhen of arable land, 5 desyatins of hay land, and 3 desyatins 640 sazhen of unusable land, totaling 39 desyatins 482 sazhen. There is a plan for this land. The parish includes the village, the hamlet of Slovenovo two versts from the church, and the village of Korotkova also two versts away, where the clerical records list 352 men and 383 women, all Orthodox.

Until 1969, the temple was in a conserved state, after which the local historical and architectural museum removed all valuables, leaving an inventory. After that, the temple began to deteriorate rapidly. By the time it was handed over to the diocese in 1998, it was in a deplorable condition, with only the walls and the dome over the summer temple remaining. From 1998 to 2011, through the efforts of parishioners and the rector, the temple was restored. However, on April 27, 2011, a fire occurred in the temple, completely destroying it. After that, major restoration began according to modern projects. The vaults, the roof in the winter chapels, the roofing over the summer vault, the dome over the bell tower were restored, the walls were partially plastered and puttied, doors, frames, electricity, and heating were installed. The church watchman's house was also restored.
