The Ascension Church in the village of Nagavitsyno, located in the Bogorodsky District, is a monument of history and culture of regional significance. The modern building was erected in 1845 on the site of an older St. George Church. The residents of Nagavitsyno have long been affiliated with the Nizhny Novgorod Pechersky Monastery, remaining its serfs until the mid-19th century and engaged in firewood harvesting in the surrounding forests. The construction of the church was funded by parishioners and through collections from donation books. The church had a parish school and a zemstvo school.

In the 1930s, the church was closed, the bell tower and adjacent structures were dismantled, and the building was repurposed for secular needs. Nevertheless, until the 1950s, the church, although not functioning, retained its original appearance. The chairman of the local collective farm, which united Nagavitsyno and Kuznetsovo until the mid-20th century, attempted to dismantle it for bricks.

The layout of the church is designed in a three-part longitudinal-axial system resembling a 'ship.' The architecture of the facades is styled in classicism. Currently, the church has three altars: the Ascension altar, the altar in honor of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God, and St. George the Victorious. The main part of the church is a column-free, two-light square with a light drum supported by arch ribs and sails. The facades of the square are crowned with pediments on all four sides. The round drum with eight semicircular windows is topped with a spherical dome, surmounted by a small cupola with a cross and a wooden framework of the cross.
