The stone church with two altars was built with the funds of parishioners, replacing the old wooden Nicholas church by the decree of the spiritual consistory dated October 27, 1746. The warm Cross Exaltation chapel, located in the refectory, was consecrated in 1749, and the main Nicholas altar of the summer church in 1754. Historical data from 1776 indicate that the wooden "kurma," which rose above the square of the cold church, and the hewn porch with a platform had deteriorated and were replaced with stone. The plank covering of the refectory was renewed. Work on the improvement of the church continued in 1785. A new iconostasis was installed in the cold church to replace the previous one, which was damaged by fire, and the white stone floors were relaid. During these years, a stone church fence with gates was erected. At the end of the 19th century, a major reconstruction of the warm part of the church was carried out. The expansion project with the installation of heater heating was developed by architect I. A. Charushin, who submitted the drawings for review to the Construction Department of the Vyatka Provincial Administration in 1896. All work was completed in 1900.

The planning structure of the monument is characterized by complexity, typical for churches with a rich construction history. At its core is a square cold church with an attached five-sided altar apse. The extensive refectory includes chapels with three-sided apses, which adjoin the side facades of the square. Through wide supporting arches, the central part of the refectory connects with the chapels, forming a unified space of the warm church. On the western side, a five-section block of tents and a narthex adjoin the refectory. The walls of the covered passage connecting the narthex with the entrance group are slanted to the north, emphasizing the irregular nature of the alignment of the gates of the church fence and the church. In the volumetric composition of the monument, the expressive vertical of the cold church's completion dominates, consisting of two slender light octagons with well-chosen proportions and large openings. The low refectory, with a fivefold rhythm of window openings, is distinguished by a raised gable roof and large gables on the side facades. The entrance to the refectory is marked by a high decorated attic, above which rises a dome on a cylindrical drum.

The external decoration of the oldest part of the monument, which does not differ in the variety of decorative elements, is typical for stone Vyatka churches of the 1730s-1750s. The facades of the square are divided into two tiers by a wide cornice belt, decorated with stepped dry loaves, which transition to the walls of the altar. The vertical three-part divisions of the facades are made with fluted pilasters with panelled bases. Paired pilasters emphasize the corners of the square, while single ones emphasize the apses. The elongated pilasters of the upper tier rest on a frieze belt with conventional triglyphs. In the central sections of the walls of each facade, between the single pilasters, the frieze had curved outlines, which were likely cut during the reconstruction of the 1770s. The top of the square was then rebuilt, receiving large semicircular half-heads embedded in the eight-pitched roof. Round skylights are inscribed in the half-heads. The facades show the knocked-out frame casings of the upper light openings with characteristic "ear-like" outlines. The profile of the casings repeats the frames of the enlarged sills located under the skylights. Above the openings of the first tier, there are shelf-like sills. The dry decor of the octagons and half-heads consists of rare rectangular dry loaves and profile cornices. High windows with semicircular arches on the facades of the refectory, which previously had no lime whitewashing, are united by archivolts. The lowered parts of the refectory, the altars of the chapels, and the narthex are highlighted by a lush cornice with dry loaves and casings with triangular sills. The corners and piers of the narthex are marked by pilasters with sills. The round clerestory windows of the refectory harmonize with the skylights of the church.
