The Ascension Church in Snovitsy, a former monastic village, is one of the main attractions alongside the Annunciation Church. The history of this church is quite complex: before the current stone building, there were several wooden predecessors. An important moment in the history of the Ascension Church is related to the fire of 1717, when the Nikolskaya Church burned down. The parishioners were so poor that they could not even dream of building a new church. Help came from the Vladimir priest Andrei, who donated his wooden church in honor of the Ascension of the Lord, and in 1718 it was transported and consecrated in Snovitsy. However, in 1770, this church also burned down, and a new wooden church had to be purchased in Vladimir.

The stone Ascension Church was built only in 1827. In 1863, a chapel was added to it, consecrated in the name of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, in memory of the first wooden church on this site. In 1876, the church was assigned to the Annunciation Church. During the Soviet era, all later extensions, including the refectory and bell tower, were lost, as the building was used for economic needs: it housed a potato storage, tractors, and a boiler room.

In the 1970s, the bell tower and the Nikolsky chapel were dismantled for the needs of the collective farm. By the 1990s, the church had become abandoned. The believers regained the church only in 2006, and after restoration, it was consecrated on October 22, 2011. Architecturally, the church is simple: it is a conditional cube with rustication on the sides, reminiscent of classicism, a baroque roof with a dome on a narrow drum, and a massive apse characteristic of Vladimir-Suzdal architecture. Instead of a bell tower, a wooden belfry resembling a chapel is now installed.
