The church in honor of the holy Zosima and Savvatiy of Solovki was built in 1692 and consecrated in 1703, when the monastery was headed by hieromonk Irinarh. After the fire of 1770, a chapel was added in honor of the holy Ephrem the Syrian. This was the last stone religious building in the Florishchev Monastery. The church was located at a significant southeast corner of the monastery and served as a landmark to the main entrance, which was on the southern side. Like the Trinity Refectory Church, it belonged to the type of single-domed pillarless churches, repeating its volumetric-planning solution and architectural elements. The temple was a single-domed cubic structure with a three-part apse. It was adjacent to the Hospital and Economic buildings, located along the southern wall of the monastery, as well as the southern entrance and the monastery cellar building. At the intersection of the southern and western walls stood the Watchtower.

On April 1, 1923, the Florishchev Monastery was officially closed, and since then the churches were used for purposes other than intended, leading to their gradual destruction. In the 1950s, a tragedy occurred with the collapse of the church of Zosima and Savvatiy of Solovki. On August 21, 2017, a new church in honor of the holy Zosima and Savvatiy of Solovki was laid at the old site in the monastery, commemorating their memory on this day. The laying ceremony was conducted by the archimandrite of the monastery, Bishop Varna of Vyksunsky and Pavlovsky.
