After the Moscow fire of 1547, a village of grooms who cared for the royal carriages moved to this area. By 1596-1597 a one-story stone church with raised basement had been constructed with a gallery.
The main cubic church is covered by two rows of pointed kokoshniki gables in an unusual octagonal arrangement. Two other unusual details mark this church from its contemporaries - the asymmetrical apses of the main chapel and the kokoshniki, which are entirely decorative. They not part of the internal structure of the church whose roof is not supported by groin vaulting.
The southern chapel of St. Nicholas was built at the end of the 17th century and reconstructed in 1739-1741. Under it is located the throne of St. Catherine.
The two story bell tower, refectory with low dome and the northern chapel of St. John the Baptist were built in 1798.
The church was closed in 1929. It was renovated in the 1950s and used for storage for the Pushkin Museum.
A priest was assigned in 1996 and the building reconsecrated in 2005. In 2009 renovations began.
