In 1804, parishioners built a stone church with a bell tower and a fence. The temple had three altars: the main one in honor of the Resurrection of Christ, and two in the warm chapels, in honor of Saint Nicholas and the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. Priest Andrey Berezhkov reported that the wooden church burned down in 1872.

Among the church belongings, two ancient Gospels stood out: one published in 1668, the other in 1704, as well as two icons: of the Savior and the Mother of God. The church owned a wooden watchman's hut covered with iron.

According to the staff, the church had a priest and a psalmist. They had their own houses located on church land.

The parish consisted of one village, which had 160 households, 695 men, and 750 women. A zemstvo public school operated in the village.

During the Soviet era, the temple was destroyed, and only the bell tower remained.
