The village of Kungur is located 32 versts southwest of Yekaterinburg, along both banks of the Kungurka River, from which it derives its name. In 1735, by order of the chief commander of Yekaterinburg, V.N. Tatishchev, a dam and a sawmill were built on the river. In 1758, the government transferred the Kungur mill along with its buildings and workers to A. Turchaninov. The final settlement of the village occurred in 1826 when serfs were relocated here from the Polevskoy factory. All the villagers were Russian and Orthodox. Their only occupation was working in the mines; they did not engage in other crafts.

In the village, there had long been a wooden chapel, which by 1843 had become so dilapidated that it was unsafe to pray in. Between 1846 and 1849, with funds mainly provided by the foreman of the mines, N. Starkov, a new stone chapel was built in honor of St. Basil of Amasea. In 1854, at the request of the manager of the Sysert factories, Koksharov, the Holy Synod permitted the chapel to be rebuilt into a church and to form an independent parish. A wooden refectory and bell tower were added to the stone chapel, and on May 20, 1856, the church was consecrated.

Twenty years later, the wooden structures of the refectory and bell tower began to deteriorate, creating a gap between them and the stone part, making worship impossible. On February 21, 1895, the Kungur community decided to allocate 7,000 rubles for the construction of a new temple and established a church-parish board to manage the funds. The new church was built between 1897 and 1899 and consecrated on October 24, 1899. In 1900, it was plastered and the roof was painted, and in 1901, it was surrounded by a stone fence. The parish has a wooden chapel where a procession is held annually on July 20. Since 1875, a zemstvo school has been operating in the village, located in its own building since 1886. The parish includes 410 men and 420 women.

In 1933, the church was closed and converted into a village club, during which the bell tower was destroyed, the domes and crosses were removed, and the frescoes were painted over. In 1993, the dilapidated church was returned to the local community, which carried out restoration work, returning the church to its original appearance and covering the domes with gold leaf. Due to the loss of documents, the church was consecrated anew and received the name of Zosima and Savvatiy Solovetsky.
