The single-altar church was built in 1890 according to the design of Kazan architect S.V. Bechko-Druzina. The funds for construction were provided by Nizhny Uslon merchants I.T. Krasilnikov and P.S. Kubonin. In 1907, peasant Ivan Stepanovich Galanov financed the addition of the right chapel in honor of St. John Chrysostom, and in 1908, the villagers built the left chapel in honor of the Assumption of the Mother of God. The interior of the church was painted by the famous Mordovian artist and sculptor S.D. Erzi.

The church consists of several volumes, symmetrically arranged along an axis. A central tall two-light volume with a semicircular apse. A long and low refectory with two single-light chapels. Two equally sized chapel volumes with rounded altar parts. The four-tiered bell tower includes two equally sized square sections and two tiers of the belfry in the form of octagons. Around the church, there was a brick fence with three-pronged gates on the southern side, but unfortunately, they have not survived. The facades are decorated with various elements: pilasters, rusticated pilasters, single-arched and double-window openings, half-columns with capitals, and multi-profile kokoshniks. Until 1977, the church was used as school workshops, sports, and assembly halls. At the beginning of this century, it was returned to the believers, and now the monument of cult architecture in the neo-Russian style is being restored.
