The current Church of St. John the Theologian with the chapel of St. George was built to replace the previous wooden one approximately in 1827-1828 (V.G.Dobronravov and V.M.Berezina mistakenly date it to 1728). The owner of the Olikovo estate, Count Mikhail Nikolaevich Musin-Pushkin (1795-1862), acted as the builder of the church. During the reign of Nicholas I, he was a rather prominent figure in Russian education. In 1829-1845, M.N.Musin-Pushkin was a trustee of the Kazan educational district, and in 1845-1856, of the St. Petersburg educational district. He also headed the capital's censorship committee. In the first years of the reign of Alexander II, the count retired with the rank of privy councilor. The Church of St. John the Theologian in Olikovo was closed in the late 1930s. In the late 1980s, its building was abandoned, stood open and was not used in any way. In the early 1990s, the church was returned to the believers.
