The church was built in 1904 on the site of a chapel destroyed by a major fire. Among the ashes, the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was found unharmed, which served as a sign for the construction of the new church. The original of this icon was also discovered after the fire.
The church has an altar dedicated to Procopius of Ustyug. During the Soviet era, it remained one of the three active churches in the Komi Republic. During this period, many Christians, both laity and clergy, were exiled to the north, many of whom were shot a few kilometers from the church, in the areas of Davpon and Chov-Yu. At one point, 14 bishops and metropolitans served simultaneously in the church.
The church was closed for a short time but was reopened for the faithful in the 1950s. In 2004, on the eve of the centenary celebration of the church, a treasure was found in the bell tower, including cross pendants and icons. The church houses the relics of saints and some miraculous icons. An Orthodox Youth Center operates at the church.
