The wooden Ascension church was built between 1702 and 1706 on the site of the burned-down Pokrov parish. The building has undergone multiple restorations. As a result of repairs in the 1840s, the church lost part of its gallery and received a stone foundation. Since 1845, the church has ceased to be used for services. By the late 1920s, the gallery had completely disappeared, and in the early 1970s, during attempts at restoration and conservation, the entrance porch was dismantled, and the interior furnishings, including the iconostasis, were moved to the stone bell tower.

Restoration work carried out in the early 21st century proved to be more successful. The church was reassembled using new wooden structures, and the lost church galleries were restored. The renovated Ascension church now has an attractive, almost fairy-tale appearance, but remnants of ancient wooden icon cases and choir stalls can still be found inside.
