The Vvedenskaya church was built by unknown craftsmen by 1800 on a high bank of the Melsha River, a tributary of the Viga, which gave its name to the Vizhskaya volost.
Grand Duke Alexander Alexandrovich Vyazemsky, who became the next owner of the estate, baptized his daughter and two sons in this church. One of his sons generously donated to the decoration and arrangement of the church.
By the early 20th century, the Vvedensky temple was considered one of the richest and most beautiful in terms of interior decoration. Under its dome hung a large crystal chandelier, the icon covers were adorned with gold and silver, the walls were decorated with frescoes, and the air was filled with the aroma of incense. The church was filled with a special, mysterious glow of lamps and candles. The famous church choir sang during services. The snow-white church was built on an elevation in the center of the village. A three-tiered bell tower with a spire was connected to the church by a narthex and a wide refectory. On both sides of the bell tower were two entrances under white stone arches.
After the October Revolution, the church continued to function, but by the mid-1930s, dark clouds began to gather over it. In 1937, after the arrest of the church servants Alexander Ptitsyn, Nikolai Nagradov, and Alexander Vigskiy, the church was closed. The district officials and representatives of the executive committee assured the residents that the church's property would remain in place and hung a large lock. However, they soon returned and, despite the protests of the believers, transported all the icons and church utensils on tractor sleds to Chukhloma, where their traces disappeared. Probably, the most valuable items were sent to Moscow. After the main looting, there was minor looting, resulting in the church being completely stripped, and the bells were thrown from the bell tower. Over time, the church building was repurposed into a machine and tractor station and then abandoned.
In 2007, thanks to Hieromonk Bartholomew, the restoration of the Vvedensky church began. With the help of caring villagers and donations from benefactors, the church was restored in five years. Now, in addition to the main altar in honor of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, two more altars have been consecrated: in the name of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker and in the name of Flora and Lavra. Today, as before, the fully restored white-blue church rises in the center of the village, clearly visible from the Melsha River. In the evening, the setting sun's rays reflect off the crosses of the church's domes and bell tower, shining brightly.
