The village of Lasta, founded between 1745 and 1763, was for a long time part of the Izhma parish. Due to difficulties in communication with the parish church, especially during the muddy season, as well as the significant distance and the Tobish River separating Lasta from Izhma, the villagers appealed to the authorities for permission to build their own church and establish a separate parish. The main organizers of the fundraising among the locals and major donors were the Kanev brothers: Vasily, Avtonom, Theophan, and Georgy, who were prosperous reindeer herders. The construction of the church began on August 17, 1867, and was completed in the autumn of 1869. After finishing the interior work and installing the iconostasis, the church was consecrated on January 18, 1871, in honor of the three universal hierarchs: Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, and John Chrysostom.

From the early 1880s, the Three Hierarchs Church became a parish church by the decree of the Holy Synod on November 13, 1881. In 1893, the first literacy school for children in Lasta opened at the church, which was located in the refectory. The church is situated in the southern part of the village and has a traditional three-part division. The church's square base stands out in height and width and was once topped with a large onion dome with a gilded cross, which was dismantled after the church was closed. The cubic base of the bell tower, which served as a porch, is included in the space of the refectory and shares a western wall with it. The bell tower, consisting of two differently sized sloping squares, was topped with a wooden dome, but the drum and spire were lost. The ringing tier has large arched openings oriented towards the cardinal directions and adorned with elegant balusters. The walls of the refectory, the church, and the five-sided apse are pierced with rectangular window openings, which are higher on the main volume. The upper part of the southern and northern facades of the church is decorated with small squares of false windows.

The white color of the church, covered with wooden shingles, and the cornice finishing with small bricks create the impression of a stone building.
