[1][2] The first Catholic parish in Talachyn was established in 1604 by Lew Sapieha.

The town was severely damaged in the Russo-Polish War (1654–1667) and the French invasion of Russia (1812), which is why no buildings of the 17th century and earlier have survived.

In the 1930s the church was closed by the Soviet authorities and used as a warehouse, then a cafe and a club.
