The village of Ipatovo, located in the Syktyvdin district of the Komi Republic, lies on the left bank of the Pozheg River. The name "Ipaty" in the local language means a place near something. The village presumably emerged in 1859. Between 1874 and 1875, a wooden church dedicated to Saints Zosima and Savvatiy of Solovki was built here, which has survived to this day and is an architectural monument.

Saint Zosima, the abbot of Solovki, was an outstanding enlightener of the Russian North and the founder of a monastic community on Solovetsky Island. He was born in the Novgorod diocese, raised in piety, and after the death of his parents, distributed his possessions and took monastic vows. Savvatiy also took vows at the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, but upon learning of the uninhabited Solovetsky Island to the north, he decided to settle there. Both monks sought solitude, humility, and a strict life and are considered the patrons of the North, canonized as saints.

In the church of the village of Ipatovo, there were icons of Saints Zosima and Savvatiy, and the few residents of the village gathered here for services. With the advent of Soviet power, the church ceased to function, and today, despite being the oldest building preserved since the late 18th century, it looks quite sad.
