In 1877, the parishioners of the village of Ureno-Karlinskaya Sloboda, the village of Voznesenskoye, Gorovka on the Urень River, and the village of Kholmogorskaya Sloboda on the Belый Urень River built a stone church with three altars. The main altar was dedicated to the Ascension of the Lord, while the side altars were in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and the Archangel Michael.
In the early 20th century, there were three large stone churches functioning in Ureno-Karlinskoye, but to this day, only the ruins of one dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, built in 1877, have survived. In the 1930s, this church was closed and looted, and its building was then used as a village club. About 20 years ago, the club burned down, and since then, the remains of the church have been abandoned, while the club was moved to a nearby manor house.
The dilapidated red brick church is located in the center of the village, near the former Moscow highway, on a high left bank of the Urень River. The building, elongated along the east-west axis, consisted of three parts: the church itself with three semi-circular apses attached to the west, the refectory, and the bell tower. High rectangular arched windows were fitted with metal grilles. Three arched entrances to the church are adorned with a portal.
The church in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, an Orthodox parish church with three altars, built in 1877, is recognized as a cultural heritage site and is registered with the state.
