The city of Minyar owes its origin to an ironworking plant, which in 1788 was inherited by Irina Beketova. She decided to build a church for the workers who arrived from various provinces, such as Smolensk, Ryazan, and Tambov. For this purpose, Beketova commissioned a church project from the famous architect Matvey Kazakov. However, due to Kazakov's commitments, he entrusted the development of the project to his student Yefim Malyutin.

During the era of Russian classicism, construction based on standard designs with repeating details and structures was actively developed. This is confirmed by the fact that Kazakov's project for a church in Moscow was adapted by Malyutin for Sima, Ilek, and Minyar.

Malyutin, following his teacher's guidance, demonstrated his skill by considering the local features. The Orthodox tradition suggests building churches on elevated grounds, but the plant in Minyar was located in a basin surrounded by mountains. Placing the church on one of the mountains would have been inconvenient for visitors. Therefore, the church was built on a high bank in the center of the settlement, at the confluence of the Sim and Minyar rivers. Construction began in 1795 and was completed 24 years later.

In the new cult architecture of that time, buildings in the shape of rotundas were popular. The architecture became more austere and restrained in decoration, emphasizing symmetry and geometrically correct forms. The Minyar church has a three-part axial composition: the temple, the refectory, and the bell tower, oriented from east to west.

The church had three altars: the main altar in honor of the Entry into the Temple of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the southern altar dedicated to Saint Nicholas, and the northern altar for the apostles Archippus and Philemon. It was distinguished by its spaciousness, good acoustics, painted frescoes, and richly decorated icons. Local brick and limestone were used for construction, the building was plastered and adorned with rusticated stone. The roof was made of sheet iron, and around the church, there was a brick fence with a metal grille.

In 1927, the church was closed, many cult items were taken away or looted, but some were preserved by local residents. Among them were a silver-plated font, a small bell, candlesticks, and an icon of the Kazan Mother of God. This icon, made in Yekaterinburg, was kept in Viktor Bragin's house for over 60 years before being transferred to the city museum.

During the Soviet era, various institutions were housed in the church building, but in the 1970s it was abandoned and began to deteriorate. The residents of Minyar long sought the restoration of the church, and eventually, it was recognized as a cultural heritage site. In 2001, work began to restore the church to its original appearance. Currently, services are held in the temple.
