Built on the site of a former wooden church in 1839 by a local landowner, A.P. Khmetevsky, a retired second lieutenant. The area where the Nikolskaya Church now stands used to be the site of the Zhigulinsky churchyard. The village of Zhitenino, with 6 households, was adjacent to the churchyard. A glass factory was built nearby. Fairs were held on holidays near the churchyard on the main road leading from the church to the glass factory. Fragments of regular linden plantings of a small estate have been preserved 400 meters south of the church. The holy spring of the Great Martyr Paraskeva is also located here.
