The church was located in the foothill part of the city, near the Irtysh River, on a street formerly known as Nemchinovskaya (now Nerpinskaya).

The church, dedicated to the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, was built in Tara in 1777 with funds from the Nerpin merchants.

In 1875 and 1878, the church received a new roof, and warm frames and stoves were installed thanks to the funding from commercial advisor Yakov Andreyevich Nemchinov.

On February 4, 1899, a church parish guardianship was opened, and on October 15, 1902, a women's church parish school was established. A priest and a psalmist served at the church.

In 1921, the church's property was nationalized. In the documents of 1922, the Kazan church is no longer mentioned. It was demolished, and in the early 21st century, houses built in the 1960s stand in its place.

The church was made of brick, single-story, in the shape of a "ship." Above the church rose an octagonal dome, above the altar, a five-sided conch, and above the refectory, a gable roof. The lantern above the dome was octagonal with windows and pilasters at the corners; a similar lantern was on the bell tower, with a belt at the top. The domes on the dome, altar, chapel, and bell tower were adorned with eight-pointed crosses.

The walls of the church were smooth with pilasters and a complex cornice. The semi-circular windows had frames, and in the church part, they were arranged in three tiers, the upper of which consisted of round windows. On the western facade of the narthex, there were four-leafed lucarnes, and above the dome, an octagonal lantern with four windows, topped with a complex eight-petal dome. The windows on the first floor had metal grilles and shutters (7 iron and 7 wooden). The attics were three-leafed.

The bell tower consisted of three tiers with arched window openings, and the ringing tier was octagonal with arched openings.

The height of the church was 7 fathoms to the dome and 8 fathoms to the dome of the bell tower, the length was 12 fathoms, and the width was 5 fathoms.

In the main church, the vaults and walls were decorated with stucco in the form of mirrors with floral images and laurel garlands. The window openings between the lower tiers of windows were decorated with a cornice made of alabaster with patterns resembling floral carvings, and under the dome, there was a belt with beads and croutons. The walls of the church had paintings, and in the spandrels of the second tier windows, four evangelists were depicted in full height with oil paints, above them, stucco images of cherubs, and in the dome, images of eight archangels in full height.

The iconostasis was five-tiered with columns and smooth surfaces without carvings; the royal gates had a semi-circular top. In the chapel, there was a two-tiered carved iconostasis with columns and six carved crowns. The icons were made in the Byzantine style.
