The St. Mitrophan of Voronezh Church in the village of Biruch was built in the second half of the 19th century and consecrated in December 1869. In the 19th century, there was a stone house for the clergy and a charitable institution associated with the church. With the arrival of the Bolsheviks, the church was looted, and in 1930 it was closed.

During the Soviet era, the church building began to deteriorate, and the bell tower was lost. However, after the liberation of the village from German troops in January 1943, the parish was restored and the church revived. In 1945, a new bell tower was erected, and the church took on its current appearance, which differs slightly from the original.

In the church cemetery, where many notable residents are buried, Archbishop Dmitry (Sambikin) of Kazan and Sviyazhsk, a native of Biruch, was interred in a crypt. However, in 1922, during the confiscation of church valuables, his burial was looted and destroyed. During the same period, the church caretaker Semyon Vasilyevich Zatulin was crucified on the marble monument of his family crypt for refusing to hand over the keys to the church.

The monument with nail marks has survived. In the post-war years and until his death in 1986, the respected priest Pyotr Slyusarev served as the rector of the church. Archpriest Pyotr endured Stalin's camps, and his faith and resilience served as an example for parishioners during the years of persecution. Thanks to his prayers and efforts, the church regained new spiritual content, and many relics preserved by the parishioners returned here.

A children's Sunday school operates at the church.
