The subject of the study is the history of the church dedicated to the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in the village of Shishkinskoe. Researchers have studied it superficially, despite the fact that the village has existed since the first half of the 17th century and served as an important transportation hub on the Moscow-Siberian tract. The aim of this article is to attempt to reconstruct the history of the churches that existed in the village of Shishkinskoe from 1737 to the early Soviet period. The article examines the history of several identically named wooden churches that existed in the village of Shishkinskoe (Shishkino, Shishkina) over a long period, from the first half of the 18th century to the early Soviet period. The research also touches on the contemporary period of the church's functioning after its relocation to the village of Sumkino (now a microdistrict in the city of Tobolsk). For the first time, data from clerical records, confession rolls, materials from pre-revolutionary periodicals, and a number of documents from the 18th to the early 20th centuries mentioning the church under study have been introduced into scientific circulation. Data from open sources available on the Internet, as well as fieldwork by the authors, have been utilized. Thanks to the preserved sources, it has been established that there were at least three wooden churches with the same name – in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The first was moved from the village of Suklemskaya in 1737, the second was built in 1785 and perished in a fire in December 1869. The fate of the last church, built in the late 19th century, was complicated: during the Soviet era, it fell into disrepair but was later relocated to the village of Sumkino (now a microdistrict of Tobolsk) and today serves the faithful again as a church of the Tobolsk diocese. Based on documentary sources, it has been possible to trace changes in the composition of the clergy, land ownership, and the economic activities of the parish in the 18th to early 20th centuries. The exploratory work conducted in the village of Shishkino allowed for the documentary confirmation and recording of the church's location prior to its relocation.
