The single-altar church in Kriushi, built in 1845, was consecrated in honor of the holy apostles Peter and Paul. During construction, the masters skillfully combined the traditions of Russian medieval architecture with elements of Byzantine architecture. The five-domed, four-pillar church evokes the Rus of the 15th and 17th centuries both outside and inside. The central volume is connected to the tiered bell tower through a small narthex, and the decoration of the bell tower features pointed arches. To the east, the church adjoins a single-apsidal altar. In the upper part of the building, an arcature belt of elegant arches runs under the semicircular apses. Previously, the building was plastered and whitewashed, and fragments of plaster are still visible on the pilasters, as well as on the portals of the windows and doors.

During the period of persecution against the Church, priests Nikolai Vasilyevich Preobrazhensky, arrested in 1932 and sentenced to three years in camps, and Vasily Ivanovich Pavlov, arrested on December 8, 1937 and executed on January 30, 1938, suffered. The church in Kriushi was closed, and the believers managed to preserve only a part of the icons. Most of the icons and church utensils were destroyed or used for flooring in a farm. The building served as a collective farm warehouse for storing fuel and lubricants and fertilizers.

On September 1, 2002, the Peter and Paul church in the village of Kriushi was handed over to the Orthodox parish, and on December 19 of the same year, the first service was held there. The restoration of the church was carried out with funds from OAO 'Spirtzavod Chugunovsky', personal funds of the plant director A.P. Zanozin, donations from parishioners, and with the support of the deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Nizhny Novgorod region V.A. Antipov.
