The first mentions of the church at Nikolsky Pogost are found in the census books for 1628. Years later, a wooden church in the name of St. Martyr Paraskeva was also mentioned next to Nikolsky Church.
According to the instructions of the owner of the Zagarie volost, A.A. Kurbatov, the second church was dismantled, and in its place in 1715, a stone church was erected and consecrated in honor of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos. In 1844, according to the design of Arch. A. Grigoriev, as well as through the efforts of local priests and with the financial support of F.V. Samarin, two heated side chapels were erected in the refectory: in the name of St. Nicholas and St. Martyr Paraskeva.
A two-tiered bell tower was built at the church. In 1850, the first wooden Nikolskaya Church was dismantled, and in its place a stone pillar with a cross and an icon of St. Nicholas was erected. It still stands today on the western side of the church. In 1906-1911, the church was rebuilt again: a new refectory was built according to the design of the architect V.P. Desyatov in the pseudo-Russian style; the bell tower was increased by one more tier.
