Tyulyuk is an ancient Russian settlement of Old Believers. Its name may have originated from the name of the Bashkir Tyulyak, who roamed this area, or from the word "tulyuk," which means dwelling. The village was founded in the second half of the 18th century and is located in a picturesque area surrounded by the mountain rivers Karagayka, Tyulyuk, Yuryuzan, and the majestic ridges of Zigalki, Bakhtov, Nurgusha, and Iremel.

Tyulyuk is situated in the Katav-Ivanovsky district of the Chelyabinsk region. It is about 40 km from the Chelyabinsk-Ufa highway to the village, with half of the journey along a bumpy dirt road. However, this does not deter those who wish to climb the sacred mountain of Bolshoy Iremel, the second highest peak of the Southern Urals.

In the center of the village stands an Orthodox wooden church, attracting attention with its beauty. The Church of the Entry into the Temple of the Most Holy Mother of God is an architectural monument. It was built in 1890 with funds from the Ufa Committee of the Missionary Society, and the first service took place in 1894. Money for the construction was raised from all over, and the church was built by specialists from Kostroma. Significant donations were made by wealthy coal miners, and part of the funds was contributed by residents of nearby villages. In the 1930s, the church was closed, and its rector was repressed. In the mid-20th century, the building was used as a club for dances and cinema screenings.

In 1973, a terrible fire occurred in Tyulyuk. A strong wind carried sparks, and wooden houses ignited one after another, with about 200 houses burned down in total. This fire is recounted in the Museum of Fire Glory in Chelyabinsk, where a model of the village demonstrates the spread of the flames. The church miraculously escaped damage, as the fire passed it by. Eyewitnesses claimed to have seen a glow above the church and a column of light ascending into the sky, which they perceived as a miracle. Later, the church was restored, and services resumed in 1994. Every year on August 19, a procession is held in Tyulyuk for the feast of the Entry into the Temple of the Most Holy Mother of God.

Recently, the dome and crosses of the church were repaired and gilded, and the roofs and cornices were painted blue. The church stands out with its bright pink color and white trim, giving it a special solemnity and festivity, attracting attention from afar. Inside the church, beautiful ancient icons are preserved.

From here, the famous pilgrimages to the holy mountain Iremel, significant for Orthodox believers, begin.
