The first wooden church of the Vvedenskaya Island Monastery was built from 1709 to 1710 on cleared land. Monks Sergey and Timofey, having constructed a cell and chapel on the island, appealed to Tsar Peter Alekseevich for permission to build a church on the island of Lake Vyatka in honor of the Introduction of the Mother of God into the Temple. In December 1708, they received a decree from Metropolitan Stefan of Ryazan and Murom, and within a year the monks and brethren completed the construction. The church was consecrated on January 14, 1710. With the appearance of the church, the chapel from 1708 became unnecessary and was moved to the Moscow road to collect donations for the monastery's upkeep. The new church was an octagonal building with a hexagonal roof covered in wooden shingles and a wooden cross. In 1767, the church was reconstructed. By the end of the 19th century, it fell into disrepair. On July 30, 1890, the abbot of the monastery informed the diocesan authorities about the need to build a new church, as the old one had developed cracks threatening its collapse. The diocesan authorities permitted the dismantling of the dilapidated church and the construction of a new one according to an approved project. The construction of the new brick cathedral began in the spring of 1891 and was funded by the monastery and donors. By July 1892, it was completed. The cathedral had five altars: three below and two in the choir. On August 9, 1892, Archbishop Sergey of Vladimir and Suzdal consecrated the new cathedral. The newspaper 'Vladimir Diocesan News' reported that the day before, the archbishop arrived in Pokrov to inspect the churches and then went to the monastery to consecrate the church. In the evening, an all-night vigil was held, and in the morning of the 9th, an early liturgy took place. With the funds from benefactor Alexei Vasilyevich Smirnov, Mettlach tiles were laid in the cathedral and water heating was installed. The new five-domed church in the Byzantine style featured a beautiful iconostasis and frescoes created by the monks of Optina Monastery. The locally revered icon of the Introduction of the Blessed Virgin Mary was kept in the church. A bell tower was built next to the church. The cathedral operated until 1924. In 1932, the domes of the church began to be destroyed to give the building a secular appearance. It was divided into two floors and used for over 60 years for the needs of a colony. It housed a school, museum, gym, workshops, and furniture storage. In the early 2000s, after the buildings and churches of the Vvedenskaya Monastery were transferred to a women's monastery, restoration of the cathedral began. Leaky roofs were removed, scaffolding was installed, a brick drum was laid, the facade was cleaned, and the domes with crosses were raised. Under the oil paint, restorers discovered preserved fragments of frescoes from the late 19th century, including the Last Supper, Venerable Anthony of the Caves, Venerable Seraphim of Sarov, and Venerable Nicholas the Wonderworker of Myra.
