The village of Novoye is located on the Selekshe River, 12 kilometers from Yuryev-Polsky. In documents from the 13th century, it is mentioned as a state palace estate, and in the late 17th century, it was granted to brothers Pyotr and Vasily Abramovich Lopukhins. Pyotr Abramovich began his service in 1658 as a steward, then became a colonel of the streltsy. From 1678 to 1680, he headed the Reitersky Prikaz, and from 1688, he was an okolnichy, managing the Yamsky Prikaz, then the Prikaz of Stone Affairs. In 1690, he became a boyar and head of the Great Palace Prikaz and the Palace Judicial Prikaz. In 1698, the priests of the Archangel Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin submitted a petition to Tsar Peter, asking to protect them from Pyotr Lopukhin, whose managers treated the peasants cruelly. Pyotr Abramovich was tortured and died. Vasily Abramovich began his service in 1668 as a clerk, and in 1676 became a steward. During the streltsy uprising, he was a colonel of the streltsy and received estates for his loyal service. In 1689, he became an okolnichy and head of the Kazan Palace Prikaz, and from 1691, a boyar. In 1697, after the conspiracy of Sokovnin was uncovered, the Lopukhins, relatives of Tsarina Yevdokiya, were exiled from Moscow, although the accusations were not proven.

In the 18th century, the village belonged to Counts Fyodor and Ivan Andreyevich Osterman. Their father, Andrey Ivanovich Osterman, determined Russia's foreign policy and was married to Marfa Ivanovna Streshneva. After the coup carried out by Elizabeth Petrovna, he was exiled to Siberia, where he died. His sons, Fyodor, a general-lieutenant and senator, and Ivan, a vice-chancellor and president of the Collegium of Foreign Affairs, left no descendants. In the 19th century, the last owner of the village was Tyutchev.

The church in honor of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker in the village has been known since ancient times: in 1628 and 1654, it is mentioned in the income books as wooden. In 1826, with the funds of the parishioners, a stone church with a bell tower was built to replace the dilapidated wooden church. The temple originally had two altars: the main one, in honor of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, and in the warm refectory, in honor of Saints Simeon the God-receiver and the prophetess Anna. In 1883, the refectory was expanded, and another altar was consecrated in honor of the Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian. The church exists in this form to this day.

The main relics of the temple are five large miraculous icons of the Mother of God. One of them, the Iveron, is local, while the others, including two images of "Joy of All Who Sorrow," "Quick to Hear," and "Bogolyubskaya," were brought from other churches after their closure during the years of persecution.
