The document states that the church "is a stone building, with a similar bell tower, covered with iron, strong." There were three altars in it: the main one in the real, cold one - in the name of the Transfiguration of the Lord; in the refectory, warm: on the southern side - in the name of the Protection of the Holy Mother of God and on the northern side - in the name of St. Demetrius, Metropolitan of Rostov. The church belonged to two stories, the stone building on the upper floor was a church and parish school, and on the lower floor - a warehouse. In the cemetery there was a stone chapel and another stone building in the corner of the church fence. The children who attended the parish school were: 31 boys and 22 girls. In 1922, valuables were confiscated from the church for the benefit of the starving Volga region. On September 15, 1940, the church was considered active and legally not closed, although services had not been held there since 1938. An architectural monument of the 18th century.

Here the uprisings began in the Stolpianskaya volost. On November 6, a crowd of peasants from the village of Meleshino came to the volost center. They approached the building of the Stolptsy village council. On November 6, the rebels brutally dealt with the head of the volost food detachment, Predtechinsky, a front-line soldier who was trying to escape from Stolptsy. After Predtechinsky was caught, beaten and brought to the village, the peasant Krayushkin hit him on the head with a stone, and officer Drozdov from the village of Munyakovo hacked him to death with a saber. Rumors began to spread quickly that Soviet power was experiencing its last hours, that in many cities, including Moscow and St. Petersburg, it had already been overthrown.
