The village of Zaskochikha gained its status thanks to a "divine sign"; an icon of Nicholas the Wonderworker was found at a water body near a sandy hill. In Russia, there was a tradition not to throw away or burn old icons, but to set them adrift on water, and thus they appeared in various places, receiving the name "appearance of icons".

By 1692, a wooden church with two altars was built in Zaskochikha. The main altar was dedicated to Nicholas the Wonderworker, while the altar in the refectory was in honor of the Great Martyr Catherine. The parishioners were residents of 19 settlements of Krasnaya Ramena. Over time, the number of parishioners decreased due to the emergence of churches in Linevo, Belkino, and Mezhuyki.

In 1821, the residents of Zaskochikha began the construction of a stone church, which lasted 22 years. A third altar was added to the church, dedicated to the Feast of the Transfiguration of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Until 1917, five educational institutions operated in the Nikolsky parish: church-parish schools in Komarovo and Ostanikino, as well as zemstvo schools in Zaskochikha, Maloe Sukino, and Ziminki.

In 1995, the bells of the Nikolsky church were the first in Krasnaya Ramena to once again call the faithful to service.
