Фото 1
The village of Keyzes in the Tarsk district was founded in the 1860s by settlers from Little Russia and the Vyatka province. It is located on the Keyzes River, near the Uiy River. It is 100 versts to Tara and 350 to Omsk (modern Sedelnikovsky district). In 1892, a church was built with the funds of the parishioners. It was wooden, with a bell tower, clad in planks and painted, sturdy and spacious, with a sufficient amount of utensils. From 1894 to 1898, a bell tower, staircase, and watchman's lodge were added to the church.

In January 1915, parishioners appealed to the Spiritual Consistory for permission to expand the church by adding two chapels and raising the central part of the temple. The project was approved in Tyumen, and permission was granted. The appearance of the church can only be assessed from a photograph from 1961, when it had already been significantly altered.

The church had a traditional Russian composition, with a three-sided apse, rectangular chapels on the sides, a refectory, and a narthex to the west. The church part had a high quadrangular completion with rectangular windows and a hipped roof. The chapels and entrance also had rectangular windows, and the pediment had a window in the middle. The refectory and narthex had rectangular windows.

The parish included the villages of Ragozino, Elizarovo, Yelnichnaya, Nikolaevka, Verkhniye Tungusy, Tungusy, Shchelkankovka, Nezhdanovka, Saratovka, Solovyeva, Uspenka, Chemerichnaya, Spasskaya, Kirpichnaya, and Dmitriyevka. In the early 1910s, the parish population was 5,791 people, including 195 dissenters in Elizarovo. The villages were both old-settler and resettlement. There were 450 baptisms, 85 marriages, and 250 burials per year. The church-parish school operated from 1898 in its own building. The clergy had 99 desyatinas of land, comfortable houses, and brotherly incomes of 900 rubles per year. Easter processions and Cross Processions were held in the fields of the old-settler villages. "Gathering holidays" were organized in the villages.

In 1900, V.M. Arbuzov became the priest. At that time, I.P. Alexandrov served as deacon, and F.A. Popov was the psalmist for 7 years.

In 1920, the church was nationalized. On October 1, 1933, the religious minister Fyodor Vladimirovich Volkov from the village of Keyzes was sentenced on February 19, 1934, to 3 years of conditional forced labor. From March 1, 1933, the priest was Ion Fedorovich Chepanov, who was arrested in 1930 and 1933. He was sentenced on September 2, 1937, and shot in Tara on September 7, 1937. After that, the church was closed. The Nikolskaya church was demolished no earlier than the early 1960s.
