The Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh, located on a hill to the southwest of the estate at the edge of the village, is a characteristic example of Russian church architecture closely connected with nature. The temple fits harmoniously into the surrounding landscape, where a large pond reflects the green hills and the white silhouette of the church. In pre-revolutionary times, the modern village of Uty consisted of two settlements: Mirkovy Uty, where serfs lived, and Udelny Uty, belonging to the royal family. In the 17th century, there stood a wooden Nikolaev church here, whose main relic was an icon of St. Nicholas. A wooden church was built on the site of the apparition of the image, but neither the icon itself nor its depiction has survived. It is known that the feast day in Udelny Uty was the day of St. Nicholas, while in Mirkovy, it was the day of St. Sergius of Radonezh. The residents of both villages often visited each other.

The first wooden church in honor of St. Sergius of Radonezh in Mirsky Uty was built in 1698 with funds from the local landowner Pyotr Salov, head of the Bryansk streltsy and Cossacks. In the late 18th century, he built boats for Tsar Peter I's campaign to Azov and simultaneously erected a wooden temple in his estate, which was consecrated in 1700 in honor of St. Sergius of Radonezh. The village began to be called Sergievsky Uty. The landowner not only built the church but also allocated a plot of land for its maintenance. Later, his brothers, Pyotr and Faddey Salov, began the construction of a stone Vvedenskaya church in the Bryansk Petropavlovsky Monastery. These charitable endeavors required significant expenses, and Pyotr Salov sold Mirkovy Uty to Vasily Korchmin, a companion of Peter I, after whom, as legend has it, Vasilyevsky Island in St. Petersburg is named. Over time, most of Mirkovy Uty passed to the court councilor Alexei Vasilyevich Podlinev, who built a brick single-altar church in honor of the Protection of the Holy Virgin in 1767.

The church was designed in the Baroque style, like many provincial churches of that time. The main volume consisted of a squat square base with half-domes, two dome octagons of different sizes, a large light dome, a small blind dome, and a pyramidal cupola on a slender neck. The composition was complemented by a faceted apse, a single-story refectory, and a low three-tiered bell tower with a spire. The Protection church, an interesting example of a tiered estate church type octagon on a square base, is executed in the Baroque style with influences from Moscow architecture and some classicist details. In 1859, the Nikolsky and Sergievsky chapels were arranged. The wooden church of St. Sergius of Radonezh was abolished and dismantled no later than the mid-19th century. The clergy of the Protection church consisted of a priest and a psalmist.

The Church of the Protection of the Holy Virgin in Uty was closed in 1932, and during the Soviet era, its building was used as a storage facility. The church suffered greatly during the Great Patriotic War. Only small fragments remain from the once-decorating seven-tiered and two three-tiered iconostases. According to local residents, during the war, a soldier amused himself by shooting at the eyes of the saints in the icons, and the next day he died on a mine. A bullet-riddled bell from the church of the village of Mirkovy Uty is exhibited in the Trubchevsk local history museum. In the early 1990s, an Orthodox community formed in the village, and the disfigured building was transferred to them.

In 1994, at the initiative of the chairman of the "Desna" state farm, V. V. Korshunov, the parish was registered. In 1998, a young clergyman, priest Alexey Vasilyev, became the rector of the semi-ruined church. With his arrival, worship services resumed, and restoration work began. In 2014, the church was gasified, and in 2017, new royal gates were installed, and the interior was updated.
