Shmakovskoe

The village of Shmakovskoye of the Irbit Municipality of the Sverdlovsk Region is located 50 kilometers (57 km along the highway) southwest of the city of Irbit , on both banks of the Irbit River (the right tributary of the Nitsa River), at the mouth of the left tributary of the Danube River ^{[2 ]} . At the beginning of the XX century, it was noted that the area is rich in vegetation and spring water, which favor the health of the population ^[3] .

The name of the village came from the names of the first settlers of the region, who came here by several families from the Novgorod region shortly after the conquest of Siberia ^[3] .

In 1750, a wooden Kazan-Bogoroditsky church was built, which, after the construction of a new stone church, was sold to the village of Antonovskoye in 1808. In 1788, a stone, two-altered church was laid, the main church of which was consecrated in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1808, the right side chapel was consecrated in honor of the Monk Varlaam of Khutynsky in 1902. In 1819 a porch was attached to the bell tower on the west side, and in 1890 a stone gatehouse and pantry (on the north side) and a covered stone gallery from the gate to the porch were built. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were two church houses for placing the clergy ^[3] . The church was closed in 1932. Currently, this place is a residential building ^[2] .
