The construction of the three-altar Ascension Church began in 1872. In 1882, the left chapel was consecrated in honor of St. Demetrius of Thessalonica, in 1885, the right chapel in honor of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, and in 1889, the main altar in honor of the Ascension of the Lord. The main part of the funds for the construction of the church was provided by Dmitry Ivanovich Stakheev, a representative of a well-known merchant dynasty from Yelabuga and a writer of the late 19th century.

The church had a charitable organization. Before the revolution, the number of parishioners was 1,935, including residents of the village and three nearby villages: 906 men and 1,029 women.

During the Soviet years, when the church faced persecution, the temple was destroyed, and services ceased. There is no exact data on the time of closure, but it is assumed that services stopped in 1937.

The church, built in an eclectic style with elements of classicism, was large and tall. Years of neglect and subsequent reconstruction in the first half of the 1990s significantly changed its original appearance. The central part is octagonal, with a domed ceiling and a large light drum under an onion-shaped dome. A wide three-nave refectory surrounds the central volume. A tall three-tiered bell tower is attached to the refectory. The narthex, the first tier of the bell tower, and the central volume have cylindrical ceilings with a keel-shaped top. The walls are decorated with pilasters at the corners and on the piers, while the window sills are adorned with rectangular coffered panels, and the window arches connect narrow openings with keel-shaped lintels.

In 1989, restoration work on the church began. The construction team immediately started repairing the roof and domes. The general contractor was the Department of Construction 2, and the foreman from the church community, Gordeev N. V., was satisfied with the work. He praised the plastering teams led by Anna Nikolaevna Valieva and the tilers and mosaic workers, including Yulia Mikhailovna Korchagina. The Bakunin work teams from BSI excellently built the choir for the singers and restored the staircase to the bell tower. The bells were brought from Voronezh, five in total, the heaviest weighing 30 poods, and three more were delivered separately. An ornate fence was installed around the church, made by workers from the foundry under the guidance of Andrei Alexandrovich Masha. Everyone whom the church reached out to for help responded and assisted.

On the night of Christmas 1990, after a long break, the first service was held at the request of the parishioners.

Currently, daily services are held at the Holy Ascension Cathedral.

On the church grounds, there are two shops where icons, church utensils, and Orthodox literature can be purchased, a chapel for funerals, and two two-story administrative buildings. One of them houses a small baptismal church in honor of St. Blessed Xenia of St. Petersburg, an Orthodox library, a children's Sunday school, and a catechists' school.

On May 28, 2009, on the day of the Ascension of the Lord, the Holy Ascension Cathedral celebrated the 120th anniversary of the consecration of the main altar.
