History
The first wooden church, in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, with the tomb of the Boyars of the Polevs , owners of the village of Malinki (the ancient name of Polevshyna), was built on this site in 1670.
On April 6, 1692, with the support of Fyodor Polev and with the blessing of Patriarch Adrian , in place of a wooden one, the construction of a stone church of the same initiation began, with the old building they did this: ... at the request of Fyodor and by order of the Patriarch, it was decided to move the wooden church on church cemetery ....
On May 7, 1694, the St. Nicholas chapel was consecrated, the consecration of the main Kazan temple took place in 1704.
In 1838, the church, due to the small number of the parish, was assigned to the Buzharovskaya Transfiguration Church .
The church was closed in 1935, in the 1940s - the bell tower and the fence were dismantled.
In World War II , a shell hit the church, but it didn’t burst; people from burnt nearby villages huddled in the building.
Subsequently, the room was used as a pottery, under a granary, as a school warehouse. Returned to believers in 1996, restoration work is underway.
