Documents from 1628 confirm the existence of a church in Pritykin dedicated to Macarius the Miracle Worker, which has not survived to this day. The remaining temple was built in 1842 next to a wooden church. Its architecture is in the style of early classicism: round windows of the second tier were located between the Doric order pilasters. The church was topped with a dome with a cupola. There were two large and four small bells on the church. In front of the temple was a linden alley, and around it were a park and a cemetery where church ministers and notable villagers were buried. The territory was enclosed by a metal fence on a brick foundation one meter wide and high. In this park, on a high slope under the shade of ancient linden trees, in 1919, members of the food brigade who died during the Uren uprising were buried.

In the 1930s, the era of church destruction and persecution of clergy began, and the Makaryevsky temple did not escape this fate. According to eyewitnesses, the already looted church began to be destroyed in the early 1930s: first, the cross was cut down, then the bells were thrown down. In the summer, the brick and metal fence was dismantled. The brickwork of the church could not be dismantled, and it was attempted to be blown up twice, but it only crumbled.

Today, from the church, which is a monument of urban planning and architecture of regional significance, only the walls and a decapitated dome remain, along with a few ancient linden trees and stone tombstones from the church park. Local residents still consider the semi-ruined church a decoration and one of the main attractions of the village. However, the condition of the church, associated with the memory of the famous Macarius, leaves much to be desired and requires attention and restoration.
