In 1857, in the village of Lyubokhna, factory owner S.I. Maltsev built a church in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. This five-domed church, designed in an ark-like shape, was considered an architectural rarity of that time, as recalled by the locals. In 1884, a stone chapel was erected at the cemetery by the church. Since then, an annual procession in memory of the deliverance from the cholera epidemic was held on the day of the descent of the Holy Spirit. In the summer of 1931, the Soviet authorities closed the church, destroying all its property and decorations. The building housed a club, a gym, and a machine-tractor station. During the war, the Germans used it as a stable. In September 1943, the church was blown up by the invaders, and the remaining walls and ruins were dismantled by the locals for household needs. By the blessing of Bishop Theophilakt of Bryansk and Sevsk, the construction of a chapel in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God began in 2002.
