Ludyana-Yasashnaya village Kazan-Mother of God Church (1707 - 1936) The church in the village was apparently built at the end of the 15th century. Since on January 7, 1707, priest Georgy Ioannov with the parishioners petitioned "in that village of Ludyana-Yasashnaya to build another cold church of God in the name of the Most Holy Theotokos of Kazan." In January 1707, Metropolitan Tikhon of Kazan issued a Certificate of Merit for the construction of another church in the name of the Kazan Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. In 1790, a new stone church "with the same name" with side-chapels was built in the village in the name of the Monk Fathers Zosima and Savvaty of the Solovetsky Miracle Workers and the Entry into the Temple of the Most Holy Theotokos. The parish included 29 villages located at a distance of 1 to 9 versts. With a Russian Orthodox population of 1874 males and 2114 females. There were 21 Old Believers in the parish. The church clerk consisted of two priests, a deacon and two psalmists. The church was allocated 4 tithes of the estate, 8 tithes of hayfields and 30 acres of arable land, which were used by peasants outside the country. Architecturally, the church is a two-tiered temple and a one-story refectory. Along the longitudinal axis, a double-height quadrangle with a semicircular apse of the altar and a small drum with a bulbous dome at the end, a rectangular refectory and a three-tiered bell tower are placed in succession. The image of the Savior was kept in the church with the signature: “This image is written in measure and inscribed against His Miraculous Image, which is in Moscow at the Savior on the New; that was brought from Vyatka in 1713 ". kept in the church and the letter of the Kazan Metropolitan Tikhon from 1707 about the construction of a wooden church in Ludyany. All this disappeared when the church was closed. In the 30s of the last century, a community of believers from the inhabitants of thirteen surrounding villages was organized in the village. An agreement was concluded with the Nolinsky Regional Commission on January 16, 1931 on the free transfer of a church building with liturgical items to believers. But in 1936, the church was closed and the premises were transferred to the workshops of the collective farm.
