The original wooden church of the Epiphany was built before 1582. The village and the church were named in the memory of the vision of the monk of the Novgorod Savvol-Vishera Monastery: the Icon of the Synaxis of the Mother of God, which was placed on the matting, floated to the right bank of the river in the wet and dismal night. Later the church was re-consecrated in honour of the Nativity of the Mother of God, the church was burned on 15 April 1834.
