The village of Perniki (until 1960), (as the present-day village of Zarechnoye was previously called), belonged to the Trinity-Sergius Monastery until 1764. There were many schismatics among the peasants of the village of Perniki and neighboring villages. To counter the schism, the spiritual authorities of the Pokrovsky district and the Vladimir province needed to build an Orthodox canonical church in these places. Several years later, such a church was built.
The church in Perniki was built through the efforts of merchants Vasily Ivanovich and Ivan Ivanovich Bazhanov and a local peasant (former Old Believer) Leonty Borisovich Borisov. The construction of the church was supposed to be carried out under the supervision of the diocesan architect Nikolai Andreevich Artleben (1827-March 14, 1882), but due to his death, it was transferred to another architect.
On May 23, 1882, in the presence of the Dean of the village of Orekhovo, Lev Levshin, the first stone was laid in the foundation of the church under construction. The construction was carried out under the supervision of the Vladimir provincial architect, senior adviser Andrei Pavlovich Filaretov. The consecration of the newly built church took place on September 16, 1884, by His Eminence Archbishop Feognost of Vladimir and Suzdal. After the consecration of the Epiphany Church, the ringing of bells from the church belfry was heard throughout the area. The bell set weighed 110 poods (1,760 kg).
During the Soviet era, the church was not closed and retained its interior decoration. The wall paintings that have survived to this day were made in 1905 (probably over the existing ones) with the personal funds of the already mentioned merchants Vasily and Ivan Ivanovich Bazhanov, which follows from the recollections of one of the participants in the construction of the Pernikovsky temple, the peasant Leonty Borisov.
The paintings are made in an academic manner, in rather bright colors.
