The Kazan church, according to the inscription on the church-building cross, was consecrated in 1657. However, due to its architectural features, it can be attributed more to the 70s-80s of the 17th century, as it is closely related to monuments of Rostov and Suzdal from the late 17th century. The Kazan refectory church is located deep within the Zolotnikovskaya Monastery, nine and a half meters northwest of the Assumption church, near the western entrance, to which it faces with its western facade. The corner placement of the church in relation to the Assumption creates convenient viewpoints and is an important element of the ensemble's composition. The church is built of brick with joint filling and is whitewashed. Under the altar, the foundation made of boulders on lime mortar is visible. The outer wall of the first tier is a brick thick, while the inside is filled with small boulders and broken bricks, alternating with brickwork. The first floor of the Kazan church was used for household needs, while the second housed the church itself and the refectory hall.

Along with the main altar, two others were consecrated: in honor of Mitrophan of Voronezh, who took monastic vows in the Zolotnikovskaya Monastery, and Nicholas of Myra. According to the inventory of 1764, there were stairs and a porch at the Kazan church, under which were the kitchen and pantry, as well as the cellarer's cell. In the second half of the 19th century, the temple was renovated with funds from Anton Nikolaevich Shodchin, and at that time, brick buttresses were added to the north side of the church to strengthen the wall. At this time, or earlier, a library and archive were placed in the church.

The ceilings of both floors of the refectory have not survived. On both the first and second floors, the refectory consisted of several rooms, as confirmed by the remnants of a longitudinal wall on the first tier, adjacent to the western wall, and the bases of various vaults. In the northwest part of the first floor, there was a barrel vault, and in the southwest, a groin vault.

Above the openings of the first tier in the western wall, the only one almost completely preserved, remnants of formwork are visible. On the western and eastern walls of the second floor, the bases of cylindrical vaults oriented from north to south have been preserved. These vaults were likely rebuilt later. During the church's renovation in the 19th century, probably simultaneously with the expansion of the southern entrance to the refectory, a staircase to the second floor was built, the traces of which are visible on the inner side of the western wall of the refectory. In this process, the vault of the first floor was pierced. The number of openings in the western wall of the refectory remained the same, but all were widened and increased in height. The corners of the rectangular volumes of the church are reinforced with pilasters. In the second floor of the altar, rounded volumes of the apses with half-columns between them stand out.

The decoration of the building is concentrated in the upper parts and is especially developed in the upper part of the church's square. Above the arcature belt, which is more miniature than in the main cathedral of the monastery, perspective strips run between the rows of the cornice, and above them is a row of balusters, creating the impression of a wide ornamental belt. Above the apses are figured cornices made of cornice and balusters, which previously existed above the refectory. The decorative elements are similar to those used in the Assumption church.

The four-pitched roof of the Kazan church has been lost. In the northwest corner of the second floor, a black-glazed rectangular tile with a semicircular end in clay plaster was found.

In the Kazan church, a highly revered ancient icon of the Kazan Mother of God in a silver setting with gilding, adorned with pearls, was kept. According to tradition, this icon was found by the founder of the monastery on a stump, on which the altar was later arranged in the chapel of John of Belgorod of the Assumption Cathedral.
