The construction of the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin began in 2013 with the blessing of Metropolitan German of Kursk and Rylsk. The church is being built on the site where Elder Seraphim served, who helped many people in difficult life situations during his lifetime. The funding for the construction comes from donations from parishioners, for whom this has been a long-standing dream.

In the autobiographical book by Anatoly Lvovich Markov "Notes on the Past. 1893-1920", he describes his childhood years spent at the Pokrovskoye estate. The text indicates that there were two Intercession churches in this area: the "old" and the "new".

"The Pokrovsk estate, where I spent my childhood and youth, was located 7 versts from the Lipovskaya railway station, later renamed Cheremisino, on the route between Kursk and Voronezh, 25 versts from the town of Shchigry."

"The memory of Tatar raids, against which Vorotynsky once ordered to 'burn the fields in the autumn', still lived in the memory of our places, which had been a barrier to Moscow from steppe raiders two centuries ago. Six versts from the estate, near the village of Krasnaya Polyana, stood a historical monument 'golubets', an oak post with an iron top. Every year on May 8, icons were brought to it, and a memorial service was held for the soldiers who perished here many years ago. The area around the golubets was called 'the battlefield', where a battle with the Tatars took place in the 17th century, ending in victory for the Kursk voivode. Ancient spears and weapons were often found here, and in 1909, workers stumbled upon numerous human remains.

Since then, a tradition has developed in Krasnaya Polyana to replace the golubets when it decayed. In the spring of 1901, the old post, installed in 1873, fell, and the peasants erected a new one on May 7.

As one approached the estate from the railway, a picture of a steppe estate opened up, and it seemed that the manor house stood on a plain, although it was located on a steep bank of the river. The estate was on the bank of the Tima River, one bank of which was high, while the other was meadow-like. The impression of a plain persisted even upon entering the house, but from the veranda, there was a panorama of a pond, a mill, gardens, and meadows, among which the river wound. The Tima River served as the boundary of the estate, as the meadows beyond it belonged to the village of Pokrovskoye, divided by the river into two parts: the village of Pokrovskoye and Zarechye. The former housed the volost and the old church, unlike the new one built in Zarechye by my father, to whose parish our family belonged.

The birch alley led to the bend of the river, over which a wooden bridge was thrown, arranged on the trunk of a tree. The bridge led to an islet surrounded by river arms and planted with fruit trees and old willows.

On the other side of the house, the bank became steeper, and there was a pear orchard with apples and cherries. The orchard ended at a ravine, which marked the boundary of the estate. Beyond it began a meadow, and the first houses of the village of Uderevka appeared, on the outskirts of the village of Pokrovskoye. Adjacent to the pear orchard was a young garden planted by my father. It was separated from the road by a ditch with a live fence of acacia. The ditch surrounded the estate, near which roads passed between the villages of Pokrovskoye, Lipovskoye, Tolstoy Kolodez, and the village of Shepotyevka.
