The church, dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and known as "Nikolai Wet," is located in the southern part of Vladimir beyond the city ramparts. The exact date of its founding is unknown, but it is mentioned in the patriarchal books of 1628 as "the church of the great miracle worker Nicholas behind the landslide in Galea." According to the land books of 1653-1654, the priest at the church was Ivan Ivanov, and the parish had 66 households. At the end of the 17th century, a warm church was built here, consecrated in 1697 in honor of the three hierarchs: Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom. In 1703, two priests, Dimitry and John, served at the Nicholas church, and in 1710, the priest was Ivan Dmitriev, while in 1715, it was Ivan and Yakov Dmitriev.

On April 27, 1732, a townsman named Ivan Grigoryevich Pavlygin appealed to the Vladimir Spiritual Administration with a request to allow him to build a stone church instead of the old wooden churches in the name of Nicholas the Wonderworker and the three hierarchs. Permission was granted on May 22 of the same year.

The church has two altars: in the cold part, in the name of St. Nicholas, and in the warm part, in the name of the three hierarchs. Above the altar in the cold church, there is a wooden canopy on four gilded pillars, with a cherub and a cross in the center. Since 1810, the walls of the temple have been adorned with artistic painting, which was unsuccessfully restored in 1880. In the vaults of the temple, voice pipes connected to angelic trumpet openings have been made to improve acoustics. The local icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is particularly venerated.

Church documents, including copies of metric books from 1803 and confession lists from 1828, are preserved intact. At the foot of the hill on which the church stands, there is a wooden chapel with a well. In spring and summer, pilgrims come here to venerate St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and to use the water from the well in hopes of healing.
