In 1766, a wooden church dedicated to the holy prophet John the Baptist was built in the village, funded by the Batashev factory owners. It burned down in 1802, and soon construction of a new building began. By 1825, the work had reached the stage of erecting the dome, and several altars had already been consecrated on the lower floor. Construction resumed in 1847, and in 1868 the main altar was consecrated.

The name of the architect who designed the building is unknown. The Vladimir State Archive mentions that the church was built by a "famous architect," but his surname is not specified. Local historians Georgy Wagner and Sergey Chugunov suggest that it could have been either Vasily Bazhenov or the Kasimov architect Ivan Gagin. In 1921, by order of the Soviet government, valuables were removed from the church, and in 1932 it was closed and repurposed for economic needs. Today, services are once again held in the church, which accommodates about 1200 worshippers.

The building is made of clay bricks and faced with white stone. The church houses the altars of the Life-Giving Trinity, St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the Nativity of Christ, and Saints Peter and Paul. The height of the church is 50 meters, while the five-tiered bell tower reaches 70 meters.
