It was erected on the left bank of the Nerl River, in the center of an ancient village, which until 1764 was the patrimony of the Suzdal Spaso-Evfimiev Monastery. It was built of brick in 1786. In the 19th century, a western extension to the refectory was built, which encompassed the lower quadrangle of the bell tower; at the same time, the openings between its pylons were widened, and part of the western wall of the refectory was dismantled. In the first third of the 19th century, the priest of this church was M.I. Tsvetaeva's grandfather.
A small rural church typical of the Suzdal region in the traditions of local architecture of the late 17th - first half of the 18th century.
On the bell tower of the church is a bell with ornamental friezes, brought from the village of Bykovo, Suzdal district, cast in 1873 at the Nizhny Novgorod plant of the merchant S.D. Charyshnikova. Glue painting of the late 18th - early 19th century in the quadrangle and refectory is an expressive monument of the Baroque style, in which, along with the plot compositions, a large role is given to grisaille decor.
The three-tiered main iconostasis of the 1780s is one of the best Baroque monuments in the Ivanovo region.
