The brick church with five domes, a three-part apse, and a low refectory without columns, adjoining from the west, as well as a tent-shaped bell tower, rose on a high hill, adorning the village. To this day, a stone slab on the wall of the church with a chronicle of its construction has been preserved.

The church was adorned with a belt of colored tiles along the cornice, and above it, the semicircular arches were decorated with bright images of cherubs made of tiles. Their blue wings and heads stood out against the whitewash, giving expressiveness to the upper part of the church. Originally, the tiled belts adorned all five domes of the church, and the last row crowned the drums under the domes, but it has not survived to this day. These tiles gave the modest church an exquisite elegance: geometric patterns resembling flower clusters stood out against a green background, painted in yellow, blue, and white colors. The appearance of tiles on the facades of the church is associated with B. M. Khitrovo, who headed the Armory Chamber, where craftsmen were invited for this work.

The bell tower once housed rare "combat clocks with a pointer circle" for churches of that time. Icons for the rich carved iconostasis were painted by the best artists of the Armory Chamber.

In the 19th century, the church underwent significant renovations: one of the chapels was converted into a new one, in the name of St. John Chrysostom, and the altar part was enlarged with the addition of a four-column portico. The bell tower was rebuilt, and the entrance to the church was now through it. The interior painting of the church was renewed by Palekh masters.

The church was closed in the early 1930s, its domes were demolished, and the bell tower was dismantled. All valuables, including church utensils and icons, were confiscated. Ancient icons painted in 1673 in the Armory Chamber later ended up in the Tretyakov Gallery: "Annunciation" (master S. Ushakov), "Meeting" (icon painter Andrei), "Crucifixion" (master G. Zinoviev), "Entry into Jerusalem" (master F. Kozlov), "Resurrection of Lazarus" (master N. Pavlovets), "Dormition" (master I. Filatyev), "Resurrection".

In the partially rebuilt premises of the church in the post-war years, there was a dye production factory, then a warehouse, and later a service station.

Worship services in the church resumed in the autumn of 1992.
