Initially, the residents of the village of Nikolaevskaya were part of the Galkinskaya Tsare-Konstantinovskaya church until 1864. Due to the remoteness and inconvenience of the road, they expressed a desire to create their own parish and church in 1862. That same year, permission was granted to build a wooden church in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. In 1863, the Yekaterinburg merchant Voni fatey Ivanov Koreshkov began construction.

From 1865, the village became a selo, forming an independent parish with its own priest and psalmist, which included 541 men. In 1874, the Nikolaev parish was joined by the villages of Shadrinsk district: Knutovo, Maly Puktysh, and Chudnyakovo. By 1875, the parish consisted of the village of Novo-Nikolaevskoye and 38 villages with 395 households, 1573 men, and 1642 women.

Until 1917, a stone building of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker was erected with the funds of parishioners in the Neo-Byzantine style, replacing the burned wooden church. A church school operated at the temple. The central part of the composition is an octagonal volume with a dome rotunda and a cupola. The refectory is adjacent to the narthex with two tiers of the bell tower, which has retained its bulbous finish. Two brick structures have survived on the adjacent territory, likely at the corners of the church fence, as well as an ancient architectural structure.

In the 1930s, during the persecution of Orthodoxy, the church in the village of Nikolaevka was closed, and all valuables were taken away. For a long time, the semi-ruined temple remained abandoned. In the 1990s, the emergency premises were returned to the believers. The church is in a dilapidated state: windows and doors are missing, brick walls are crumbling, frescoes have not survived, and grass is growing on the roof and bell towers. The villagers mow the grass around the church, but no restoration is planned.
