The church was built in 1864 at the initiative and efforts of ensign Andrei Tolmachev, with construction carried out by contractor Gridin. In 1909, the first repair of the exterior was conducted. The parish clergy regularly taught children in church-parish schools in neighboring villages: Kastornoye, Maltsevo, and Lyubimovka.

In the mid-1920s, the church was closed. Engineer Kurbatov from the sugar factory participated in its destruction, suggesting to use the building as a grain storage, which helped preserve it.

In 1942, during the occupation of the village by German troops, the church initially served as a detention place for Soviet prisoners of war. Later, the German command sent an Orthodox priest, and services resumed, continuing until the mid-1950s. In the early 1960s, the church was periodically closed and reopened for services. In the mid-1970s, a residential guardhouse was built on the church grounds, which was also used as a baptistery, and a metal fence was installed around the church.

From 1996 to 1998, a complete plastering of the church's exterior walls was carried out. In the village of Maltsevo, not far from the church, the Holy-Demetrius Spring has survived, which has fallen into disrepair over the years. Efforts by parishioners are restoring it.

On October 10, 2010, during earthworks near the church, the remains of priest Ioann Ioannovich Lashchenkov, buried on November 9, 1911, at the age of 82, were found. This information was obtained from the State Archive. On October 14, on the Feast of the Protection, the remains were reburied at the altar of the church.
