The first temple was built in 1654 and dedicated to the Holy Myrrh-bearing Women, with an altar for the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica. In 1772, a new church was erected on the site of the old one. Its bell tower housed six bells: the largest weighed 30 poods, an eight-pood bell was used daily, and the others were lighter. The church had a roof made of planks and a dome covered with sheet iron. The churchyard was surrounded by a log fence. The diocesan leadership noted the "very diligent service" of the local priests, especially Father Erast Stupinsky.

The three-altar stone church was built in 1852 thanks to the efforts of Nizhny Novgorod merchant N.P. Smirnov and church elder A.E. Grachev. This brick temple had five domes, a two-altar refectory, and a tent-shaped bell tower. The main cold altar was dedicated to the Holy Myrrh-bearing Women, while the warm altars were dedicated to the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica and the Holy Apostles Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, and Parmenas.

The parish included seven villages: Yablonnoe, Nogaevo, Okhlobystino, Shpynevo, Khorino, Petukhovo, and Oglikhino. The total number of parishioners reached 900 people.

Although no decision was made to close the church, it ceased to function after the arrest of priest V.S. Medvedev in 1936. The stone building was not used, so it has been well preserved and awaits caring hands.
