The temple is located on the grounds of the former estate of Colonel of the Life Guards His Majesty's Hussar Regiment Vladimir Semyonovich Krapovitsky. Built with his funds, the temple had one altar dedicated to the martyr queen Alexandra and was erected in four years. The consecration took place in 1899 on the day of the memory of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir. The temple was considered a dependency of the Sudogodsky Cathedral and was served by its clergy. Simultaneously with its construction, the Georgievsky Cathedral in Gus-Khrustalny was adorned at the order of Nechaev-Maltsov, which led to similarities in the architecture and iconography of these churches. The frescoes and icons of the Muromtsevsky temple were created by masters from the school of V. M. Vasnetsov. The vaults depict the Evangelists, while the walls are decorated with ornaments. The temple had a three-tiered iconostasis: on the second tier to the right were the images of Saint Nicholas, Prince Boris, and Saints Cyril and Methodius; to the left, Prince George, Prince Gleb, and Apostles Peter and Paul. The third tier housed icons of Prince Vladimir, Princess Olga, Saint Xenia, Saint Helena, Saint Elizabeth, and the great martyrs Catherine and Barbara, as well as Saint Theodosia. These images were likely the patrons of the Krapovitsky family: Catherine, the grandmother of Vladimir Semyonovich, and Elizabeth, his wife. Near the right choir was the image of Prince Alexander Nevsky and the Transfiguration of the Lord, while on the left were the images of Queen Alexandra and the Epiphany of the Lord. The single-tier bell tower had nine bells, the largest weighing 121 poods.

Vladimir Semyonovich Krapovitsky, the grandson of the famous Ivan Semyonovich Krapovitsky, was awarded the orders of Saint Vladimir and Saint Stanislaus of the 3rd degree and headed the Vladimir Noble Assembly. He inherited the Sudogod lands with rich forests from his grandmother, Ekaterina Khonenova, whose family had owned them since the 17th century.

As a wealthy timber industrialist and owner of glass factories, Krapovitsky was actively involved in charity and education in his district. With his funds, schools were built and maintained in the villages of Galanino, Likino, and Andreevskoye, as well as a carpentry workshop and a music school in Muromtsevo. In 1913, a hospital with an inpatient facility opened in Likino, built with his funds, whose doctors served the first-aid station in Muromtsevo.

The revolution interrupted Krapovitsky's activities for the benefit of the district and the country. The family urgently left for abroad, leaving everything at the estate. Soon Vladimir Semyonovich passed away, and his wife Elizabeth Ivanovna was left alone, without children and means of existence.

Krapovitsky's castle was looted and desecrated. In 1920, 300 poods of valuables were taken from the Muromtsev estate to the Provincial Historical Museum.

After the Great Patriotic War, the temple was used as a warehouse for fuel and lubricants, and everything became soaked with gasoline and oils. The temple was finally desecrated. In January 1996, thanks to the efforts of the residents of Muromtsevo, permission was obtained from the diocese for its restoration. Services began to be held at the walls of the temple. Students from the technical school and residents of the village cleared the premises of debris. Everyone helped: Lespromkhoz, the "Krasny Khimik" plant, and private entrepreneurs.

Now, services are regularly held in the temple. The image of the martyr queen Alexandra has returned to the Muromtsevsky temple from the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord in Spas-Besedy. Another icon, of the Most Holy Mother of God, is still in an antique shop in Sudogda.

Since 2001, a children's Sunday school has been operating at the temple.
