Yaltushkiv is a historical village in Podillia, the first mentions of which date back to 1431. In the 15th-16th centuries, Yaltushkiv became an important trade and craft center of the Pobuzhzhia region. In 1537, the settlement passed into the ownership of Queen Bona Sforza, and later received Magdeburg rights.
The town was located near Tatar routes, therefore it was repeatedly subjected to attacks by Tatars and Turks. In 1672-1699, Yaltushkiv, like a significant part of Podillia, was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.
In the 18th-19th centuries, Yaltushkiv actively developed as a multiethnic town with Ukrainian, Polish, and Jewish communities. There were Orthodox churches, a Roman Catholic church, a synagogue, a school, a hospital, fairs, and numerous craft workshops. An important role in economic development was played by a sugar factory founded in 1860.
Today, Yaltushkiv is part of the Bar community and preserves a rich historical and cultural heritage of Podillia.

It was consecrated in honor of the Kazan Mother of God in 1884, and construction began in 1881. Church stands on a rural cemetery. It is small, wooden, with one dome, without a bell tower. In the church, the icon of St. Nicholas with Saints Peter, Paul, and Catherine had special honor. The icon was made in 1790 at the expense of Captain Balthazar Mom Ben and presented to the church in 1811. In the middle of the 19th century a fire damaged the town but bypassed the church, after that the icon was considered miraculous. Kazan Mother of God Icon Church is still active and it is a parish church for neighboring villages.
