In 1736, the Pogromin redoubt was established, which marked the beginning of the village of Pogromnoe. In 1781, a volost was formed here. In 1830, the residents of Pogromnoe began the construction of the Nikolskaya church at their own expense, which was completed in 1836. The church was built of brick in an eclectic style. The square structure with side chapels, a spacious refectory, and a bell tower was designed by the Samara architect Z.V. Kleynerman, who created about fifty churches and numerous civic buildings in the Samara province.
The church was closed in 1921 and remained empty for a long time. Later, the building, stripped of its domes, was used for economic purposes and was equipped with mechanical workshops for repairing machines, before it was abandoned. In 2016, the villagers began restoring the church, and on December 19, the day of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, prayer services commenced. An iconostasis has been installed in the church, and once its walls were adorned with frescoes in the Russian academic style typical of 19th-century churches. Some fragments of these frescoes have survived to this day. The church was built to last for centuries, as evidenced by its foundation and walls.
