The church was built in 1794 through the efforts of the parishioners. This stone building, with a bell tower and fence, is notable for its durability. The church has three altars: the main, cold one, dedicated to the Resurrection of Christ; in the warm chapels on the right, to the Kazan Mother of God, and on the left, to Saint Nicholas. The church has ample utensils. Previously, there were two priests, a deacon, two clerks, and two sextons on staff, but according to the new staff plan, there is to be one priest, one clerk, and one sexton; currently, a priest, a deacon, a clerk, and a sexton serve. The church owns five estate lands, as well as arable and haymaking plots in two wastelands located two versts from the church. In one wasteland, there are 57 desyatins and 1835 square fathoms, with the plan and boundary book kept in the sacristy; in the second wasteland, there are 635 square fathoms, with the plan and book kept at the Trinity Church. The haymaking lands are used by the clergy, while the arable lands are leased without contracts. The houses of the clergy, except for the clerk Lisin, are wooden and located on landlord land, which they undoubtedly own, covering about three desyatins under the houses, gardens, and the old cemetery. The clergy do not receive salaries or a fixed stipend; their maintenance is modest. The church has no buildings of its own. It is located 27 versts from the consistory, 30 versts from the spiritual administration, and 10 versts from the local dean. The nearest churches are: the Trinity Church at 150 fathoms, 3 versts away, the Nikolsky hamlet, 4 versts away, and the villages of Davydovo and Ramene. There are no attached or household churches. An inventory of church property was compiled by members of the Romanov-Borisoglebsk commission, priests Fyodor Pokrovsky, Nikolai Orlov, and Pyotr Yurtsov; the book was issued on September 2, 1854, with the seal of the spiritual consistory and the signature of archpriest Andrei Norsky and secretary Shumilin. The parish expenditure books for candles and church sums have been maintained since 1828 and are updated annually. Copies of the metric books since 1786, except for some years, are kept intact. Confession records since 1803, except for some years, are also intact. In the search book, signed by priest Ivan Smirnov, 20 pages are recorded, while 118 are not. As of January 1, 1861, there were 309 rubles and 83 kopecks available.
