Almost immediately after Isakova, the road turns right and leads to the village of Koptelovo, the birthplace of Ivan Danilovich Samoylov, a renowned restorer of Ural churches. Here he lived and worked, here he was baptized. The village differs from a hamlet by the presence of a church. In 1751, a wooden Ascension Church was built in the center of Koptelovo, which granted the village the status of a settlement, uniting several neighboring communities. In 1796, the church burned down, presumably due to the negligence of the watchman. It was then decided to build a stone church together. At that time, not every Ural village could afford a stone church. However, being on a major route from Yekaterinburg to Verkhoturye, the village, as before when Peter's envoys passed through, was distinguished by its prosperity. I.D. Samoylov claimed that Koptelovo built the largest church in the modern Alapaevsk district. The church was consecrated in 1803.

Later, a bell tower was built. It is said that the bells were originally intended for the Nikolayev Monastery in Verkhoturye, but the residents of Koptelovo managed to buy them. An ornate wrought-iron fence with white marble pillars was installed around the church.

The walls of the church were adorned with frescoes and icons. According to stories, one of the frescoes depicted the crash of the royal train on October 17, 1888, near Kharkov, which severely undermined the health of Emperor Alexander III and hastened his demise. However, this miraculous rescue of the royal family became a new subject in church painting. The main attraction of the church was a life-sized wooden sculpture of Christ, which is a rarity for urban Orthodox churches in the Middle Urals, not to mention rural ones. According to legend, the sculpture was gifted to the Koptelovo parish by a political exile from Turinsk. It is said that Christ was depicted sitting, with half-closed eyes, wearing a crown of thorns from which blood flowed, with his hands bound by chains. Many children reportedly feared this sculpture due to its realism.

In 1937, the Ascension Church was closed, and a club was established in its building. The church fence was dismantled, and a vegetable storage facility was built from its marble pillars. At the turn of the 1950s-1960s, when the church building was abandoned, there were several attempts to blow it up, but it was never destroyed.

In the 1990s, the restoration of the church was taken up by Ivan Danilovich Samoylov, the founder of the Lower-Sinyachikhin Museum-Reserve. Restoring the church in Koptelovo held great personal significance for him. However, a lack of funds, advanced age, and illness prevented Samoylov from realizing his plans. He was only able to prevent further deterioration of the ancient building: the eastern and western walls were reinforced, one arch was sealed, and another was connected with a beam.
