The village of Shumilovka was founded around 1694 by monks from the Kamensky Monastery, to which it belonged in the 18th century. In the center of the village stands the Church of Paraskeva Friday, which stands out in its architecture. The church was built in 1757, and in 1887 a bell tower was added and the building was completely reconstructed. The walls of the church are made of logs and covered with planking, while the base is made of brick. The church has a cross-shaped form and is executed in the Russian style typical of wooden architecture in Bryansk in the second half of the 19th century.

The building consists of high rectangular arms in two lights (side and elongated refectory), as well as a five-sided altar. Above the central cross rises a light octagon on a low octagonal base, topped with a tent and a slender dome. The composition is complemented by large extensions at the corners with two porches on the western side, supported by paired carved columns. Above the expanded porch with the entrance rises a three-tiered bell tower, consisting of a low octagonal base and two octagons for the bells with narrow diagonal faces, also topped with a tent and a dome.

The facades are decorated with various types of planked wall cladding: horizontal in the main part and vertical in the lower part. Special attention is drawn to the through-cut carving that decorates the window frames, cornices, and porches. The triangular and barrel-shaped pediments above the edges of the bell tower tiers and at the base of the tents are interesting. The tall windows, often paired or built-in, have framed window frames with triangular finishes, and the cross-shaped opening of the second light in the apse looks original.

Inside, the large side parts connect with the central area through wide openings, developing upwards thanks to the octagon on flat sails, which is covered by a false vaulted ceiling. The western extensions at the corners of the cross open into the side arms and the refectory, the southeast one into the side arm, and the northeast one (vestry) into the altar. On the sides of the porch are narrow service rooms, one of which contains the staircase to the bell tower.
