The Presentation Church, which has survived to this day, albeit in a significantly altered form, is located near the ancient John the Baptist Monastery. In the Soldier's settlement, with the blessing of Archbishop Platon Lyubarsky, a wooden church was built in honor of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, consecrated on November 21, 1797, by Archbishop Platon himself. The new church was furnished with church utensils, partly from the abolished Nikolskaya Church and partly from the Trinity Monastery. In 1814, rotting crowns were discovered in the church's foundation, making it unstable and prone to destruction. In this regard, the archpriest Andrei Bednyakov and church elder merchant Nikolai Shaikin appealed to Astrakhan Archbishop Gai Tokaov on July 7, 1814, requesting a collection book for the construction of a new stone Presentation Church. On June 30, 1817, they were issued a decree for the construction of the church.

On September 4, 1818, the foundation of the new church was laid. The main construction work was carried out by Astrakhan contractor Philip Petrov, and the main benefactor was Astrakhan merchant Ivan Lvovich Mikhailovsky. After the stone refectory was built, two side chapels were arranged in it. The right chapel was consecrated in honor of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and Helena on January 16, 1819, by Archpriest Fyodor Alexandrov, and the left chapel, in honor of the Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky, on January 19. The church itself was completed in 1822 and consecrated by Astrakhan Archbishop Abraham Shumilin on May 14.

In 1872, a stone chamber for the church sacristy was added to the left side of the bell tower of the Presentation Church. In 1902-1903, the refectory of the church was expanded on both sides, and both side altars were raised to the same level as the central one. The side chapels were consecrated: the right in honor of the Fyodorov Icon of the Mother of God, and the left in honor of the Equal-to-the-Apostles Tsars Constantine and Helena. The Presentation Church was built according to the same architectural plan as the Church of John Chrysostom, but numerous reconstructions significantly altered its original appearance.

The Presentation Church is executed in a classical architectural style with a two-tiered bell tower. In 1821, it was painted by icon painter Avakim and his associates. In 1903, the expanded part of the church was repainted, renewing the previous frescoes. In 1912, a new central iconostasis made of porcelain, decorated with pink and blue enamel and gilding, was installed.

In 1923, the Presentation Church was seized by Renovationists and remained under their control until 1939. After its closure, the church was handed over to a driving school on lease terms. On August 11, 1953, the Astrakhan Oblast Executive Committee decided to completely convert the church building for the driving school 'Glavavtotranskady.' As a result, the church's bell tower was demolished, and the interior was mutilated by numerous partitions. Over time, the building began to deteriorate due to barbaric use: the foundation became unusable, connections were disrupted, and the dome rotted.

In 1994, the Presentation Church was returned to the Orthodox Church, but it still cannot be used for its intended purpose due to its extremely dilapidated condition. Only the internal partitions were removed, and the space inside the church was cleared of debris. In 1996, a cross once again shone above the church.
