In 1480, Nikolo-Lenivets became the center of events of the Great Stand on the Ugra River, which marked the end of the Tatar-Mongol yoke. In memory of these events, a wooden chapel was erected. In 1802, on its site, landowner Nikita Alexeyevich Muromtsev built a large stone church with a bell tower, which for a long time remained the most important architectural, artistic, and spiritual center of the region. The central altar of the church was consecrated in honor of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity, and the chapels, in honor of St. Nicholas and the Great Martyr Nikita, likely in honor of the heavenly patron of the church's creator. One of the chapels gave the church its name of Nikolsky, which also added to the name of the village. The parish included the settlements of the Sergievskaya volost of the Medyn district: the village of Nikolo-Lenivets and the villages of Andreyevka, Belyaykovo, Zvizzhi, Maryino, Mezhmerovo (since 1919, Nekrasovo), Shadeevo, Shestakovo. In 1931, the church was closed and used for the needs of the local collective farm, and according to data from 1961, a dairy factory was located in its building.

In 1992, Archbishop Clement of Kaluga and Borovsk appealed to the authorities with a request to return the church to the Church. On June 5, 1992, by the decree of the Administration of the Kaluga Region No. 144, the church was transferred to the Kaluga Diocese. Currently, restoration is underway, and the church functions as an Archierial Courtyard.
