In the past, in Ugodichi, alongside the Epiphany Church, there existed a wooden church dedicated to Kirik and Iulita. According to preserved documents, it was built during the reign of Tsar Mikhail Fyodorovich, although the boyar Tomila did not participate in this. The church was consecrated by the Rostov bishop Varlaam, but it has not survived to this day. At the end of the 17th century, the new owner of Ugodichi became the voivode Ivan Alexeyevich Musin-Pushkin, an associate of Peter I. The tsar not only gifted him these lands but also visited them in 1709. Impressed by the local beauty, he granted Ivan Alexeyevich a count title and 'the Rostov lake with the rivers and streams flowing from it' along with fish, and later gifted an icon of the Vladimir Mother of God. Musin-Pushkin's wife took on the construction of churches in Ugodichi, deciding to replace the wooden church with a stone one.

The new church could be used both in summer and winter. The summer part had three altars in honor of Nicholas the Wonderworker, Elijah the Prophet, and Archangel Michael, while the winter part had altars in the name of Alexander of Svir and the Smolensk icon of the Mother of God. They invited Saint Dmitry of Rostov, a friend of the Musin-Pushkin family, to consecrate the church. In 1740, Ugodichi was taken from the son of I.A. Musin-Pushkin and transferred to the treasury due to his friendship with the disgraced Artemy Volynsky. However, under Catherine II, it was granted to Catherine Alexeyevna Golitsyna. Her brother, F.A. Carr, freed the peasants of Ugodichi, making them free farmers. In the 19th century, Ugodichi was a large village with a population of about 3,500 people. The village had a steamboat landing, markets on Sundays, but there was little land for cultivation, so the peasants engaged in gardening, fishing, and ice cutting. The products were partially sold locally and partially sent to the capital. The village also had a fire station, an inn, a tavern, a guesthouse, a school, and a public free library.

In 1963, shortly before the dismantling of the refectory, the church was photographed, and these photos were recently found in the archive of the Rostov restoration workshop. By the end of the 1960s, the Nikolskaya church lost its refectory and part of the side chapels, and breaches appeared in the walls. Until the mid-1970s, attempts were made to dismantle it for bricks. In the late 1990s, services in the Nikolskaya church resumed. Father Roman conducted services almost outdoors, as the church had no roof.

Gradually, the parish began to revive. In 2000, an asphalt road appeared in the village, and the church began to be visited by summer residents and pilgrims. Repairs continue, funds are lacking, and most of the work is done by the rector Father Anatoly and the parishioners. The iconostasis was assembled from plastic strips so skillfully that it is not noticeable. The relics were gathered collectively, with love, and they, as they say, perform miracles. When residents face difficulties, the icons are taken out for a procession, and life improves.
