The Church of Flora and Lavra is located on the banks of the Volga River near the riverboat pier. At the end of the 16th century, there stood the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin and Flora and Lavra, which had existed earlier as it was connected to the princely stables that were moved from the Kremlin due to lack of space. Saints Flora and Lavra, the patrons of horses, explain why the church was located by the stables. The street that passed here was called Stable Street, along which horses were led to the princely palace. It led to the eastern gates of the Kremlin, known as the Florov Gates.

The temple survived the Time of Troubles, and in the 1663 census books, the same church by the stables is mentioned. It was wooden, with a refectory and a tented roof, featuring one dome.

In 1762, a stone church was built with the donations of parishioners, featuring altars for the Resurrection of Christ and the Nativity of the Virgin. The chapel of Flora and Lavra did not survive, but its memory lived on through the church icon. Before the revolution, the church was called the Resurrection or Resurrection-Flora Church, and in the 20th century, it became known as the Church of Flora and Lavra.

The church was built in the best traditions of Uglich architecture, tall, with three rows of windows and small domes on thin drums. The windows were adorned with baroque-style frames. The temple had two floors: the upper, "summer," and the lower, "warm." The separate bell tower resembled the cathedral bell tower in the Kremlin. A beautiful two-sided porch led to the upper church from the west.

During the Soviet era, the church, which adorned the Uglich embankment, was severely damaged: the bell tower and domes were demolished, and the porch was rebuilt. Decapitated, it stood in a park on the embankment, housing various institutions that exacerbated the destruction.

In 2005, the restoration of the temple began. On October 9, 2008, new golden domes appeared on the church's square, and in the same year, services resumed in the lower church.
