The parish was founded in 1876 and included more than a thousand faithful. In 1884, the first stone church was built, entrusted to the patronage of St. Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary. His parish priest was shot after the October Revolution and the church was secularized. It was destroyed about 1960.
The parish was restored in the 1990s after the dissolution of the USSR, and a new church was built and consecrated in 2000 by Bishop Joseph Werth.
