The wooden church was built in the 1750s. In 1897, the Nikolsky and Pokrovsky chapels were added to it. The church was closed in 1931, later the building was used as a school, and then it was abandoned and dismantled in 2008. From 2009 to 2013, with the funds of benefactors, the district administration, and local residents, a new wooden church was built on the site of the old one, preserving its former shapes. The church has a cross-shaped plan, based on a square with a dome light octagon and a cupola, as well as a polygonal apse, side arms, a refectory, and a three-tiered bell tower. Between the crosses are one-story extensions of various sizes.

According to a found copper plaque, the construction of the wooden church began in 1750 and was completed by 1757 at the initiative and expense of the landowners Fyodor Petrovich Koretsky and Andrei Davidovich. Before the October Revolution, the church was rebuilt several times, and after it was closed by the authorities in 1930 and used as a village school. By 1949, the bell tower had been demolished, and the roof was redone. By 2008, the building was deemed unsuitable for use.

With the blessing of the Bishop of Bryansk and Sevsk, the restoration of the church began in 2009. The patrons were former residents of the village of Unoshevo, brothers E.A. and A.A. Stovpets. On November 30, 2009, the remains of landowner Ivan Grigoryevich Kulyabko-Koretsky, found under the left chapel of the church, were reburied. His grave had been desecrated in the 1930s in search of valuables.

On October 16, 2010, the construction of the dome was completed, and a cross was installed and consecrated. On May 10, 2013, Bishop Alexander of Bryansk and Sevsk consecrated the church, after which a Divine Liturgy was held.
