The stone church in the village of Luchinskoye was built in 1736 to replace an old wooden one. It is a pillarless, five-domed square structure with a refectory and a tent-shaped bell tower, decorated in the style of late 17th-century monuments. The second altar in the cold church was dedicated to Catherine, while the refectory housed chapels dedicated to Nicholas and Dmitry of Rostov.

In the 19th century, the village was quite large, located on a hill at the crossroads of three roads leading to Moscow, Kostroma, and Ivanovo. It thrived. The church owned four houses, a parish school, the houses of the priest and the psalmist, as well as a church watchman's lodge. There was a plot of land and a cemetery by the church, and the building itself was surrounded by a beautiful wrought-iron fence. During the Soviet era, changes occurred: in 1938, the Church of Joachim and Anna was closed, and after several years of neglect, its building housed a weaving factory, then a felting factory, and a workshop for rubber products. The church gradually lost its original appearance. The entrance was relocated to another place, where the green door to the summer church is now. A large window of the summer church was bricked up, and traces of channelling are visible on the wall, likely for lighting cables. Floodlights were previously installed on the church. One of the openings on the bell tower at the lower part is wider than the others, as the largest bell could not pass through the opening when being removed, necessitating the dismantling of part of the brickwork.

The production area was fenced off with a high fence, and an electrical substation was installed near the church. The church gradually became surrounded by technical extensions, and partitions appeared inside, making it two stories high. As a result, a club opened in the premises. The greatest damage to the church occurred when the RTI plant used it as a pesticide storage facility.

Despite all the changes, the church has retained its historical and architectural value. In 1983, regional authorities issued a decree prohibiting new alterations to the building. In 1989, the church building was transferred from the balance of the RTI plant to the balance of the production bureau for the protection of monuments. On April 9, 1997, an order was signed to transfer the Church of Joachim and Anna for gratuitous use to the Yaroslavl Diocese.
