In the land books of 1637, the village of Fetino is mentioned as the property of the voivode, Prince Semyon Vasilyevich Prozorovsky. At that time, there was a wooden church of St. Nicholas with an altar of St. Leontius of Rostov in Fetino, which later burned down. In its place, in 1670, another owner of the village built a new wooden church, as noted in the patriarchal records, which state that in the estate of Ivan Vasilyevich Obrutskiy, a new "Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker" appeared in the village of Fetino, for which four altyns and 5 kopecks were paid. In 1737, the local landowner Andrey Petrov Klementyev appealed to the Synodal Treasury with a request to allow the construction of a new church on the site of the burned one. Permission was granted, and the church was built in the same year. In 1819, thanks to the efforts of the local landowner P.M. Abramov, a stone church was built to replace the wooden one. In 1833, the refectory of the church was expanded, and since then it has remained unchanged. The church has three altars: in the cold one, in honor of the Veneration of the Honorable Chains of the Apostle Peter, and in the warm altars, in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and St. Dimitri, Metropolitan of Rostov. A parish school operated in the village of Fetino since 1887.
