In 1480, during the Great Stand on the Ugra River, the miraculous Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God was present in the camp of Russian warriors. Thanks to the prayers of St. Tikhon of Kaluga and his brethren, the conflict was resolved without bloodshed, and Rus gained freedom. It is believed that after these events, a village called Dvortsy arose on the site of one of the princely camps of the Russian troops on the banks of the Ugra.

On June 29, 2007, in the monastery skete on the Ugra River, Metropolitan of Kaluga and Borovsk, in the concelebration of Bishop Georgy of Lyudinovo and Bishop Theodosius of Tambov, consecrated the foundation of a new church dedicated to the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God (upper church) and St. Sergius of Radonezh (lower church). By the summer of 2011, the construction and finishing of the church were mostly completed.

On August 5, 2011, Metropolitan of Kaluga and Borovsk Kliment consecrated the lower church dedicated to St. Sergius of Radonezh. On August 8, 2015, Metropolitan Kliment, in the concelebration of Archbishop Maximilian of Pesochin and Yukhno and Bishop Nikita of Kozelsk and Lyudinovo, consecrated the upper church dedicated to the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God.

The church has become part of the museum complex "The Great Stand on the Ugra" and attracts pilgrims and tourists visiting the diorama museum. Divine liturgy is held twice a week: on Saturdays and on another day according to the schedule. All-night vigils and Divine liturgies are also held on the feast days: June 3, July 6, and September 8, on the days of the memory of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, as well as July 18 and October 8, on the days of the memory of St. Sergius of Radonezh.

The design of the church in honor of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God is based on the Church of the Intercession of the Mother of God on the Nerl River. However, the architectural proportions, details, building materials, and interior space of the Vladimir church differ significantly from the original. The church has a full basement and includes two churches: upper and lower. An elegant narthex has been added to the western side, and the ceiling of the central square is constructed without supporting columns, which expands the interior space. The three-part division of the facades, the tented roof, the plasticity of the details, and the color scheme resemble the Intercession Church but do not replicate it. The walls are made of red brick with a "grout-like" finish and plaster elements; the basement is faced with polished granite, and the dome and roof are covered with copper.

Both churches are fully electrified. They have water heating from a gas boiler located in the brotherhood building of the skete, and ventilation is provided: forced in the lower church, natural with remote window opening in the upper church. The window and door blocks are made of wood with double-glazed units.

The floors of the lower church are laid with polished marble. The two-tiered iconostasis, choir, and kiots are made of artificial stone (white gypsum) and house the icons. Wrought iron doors, hangers, choirs, and sconces complement the appearance of the 15th century.
