Previously, in the village of Dulovo there was a wooden church in the name of "the Lord Jesus Christ, His Image Not Made by Hands", built by Princess Darya Feodorovna Repnina in 1759.
On September 24, 1797, the new owner of the village - collegiate councilor and cavalier Alexander Osipovich Kozhin - addressed the Tver spiritual consistory with a request to build a stone church with a heated side chapel (at a distance of forty fathoms from the wooden one). The construction, which began the following year with the blessing of Bishop Irenaeus, was carried out by the diligence of the landowner Kozhin and the labors of his peasants, "using the church purse money as a subsidy", and was completed in 1807.
The composition of the Church of the Savior includes a temple and a refectory, over the western part of which a bell tower was erected, crowned with a low spire. The temple has the appearance of a cubic quadrangle with a squat rotunda, topped with a thin drum with a dome and a cross.
