The village of Krasnoye is located two kilometers from Yuryev-Polsky. The village is very ancient. In the second half of the 14th century, it belonged to the Grand Duke of Moscow Dmitry Ivanovich Donskoy (1350-1389). In 1389, he bequeathed the village of Krasnoye to his eldest son Vasily Dmitrievich (1371-1425). Two years after his father's death, in 1391, Grand Duke Vasily Dmitrievich married the daughter of the Grand Duke of Lithuania Vitovt, Sophia Vitovtovna (d. 1453). In the spiritual charter of Dmitry Donskoy, Krasnoye is mentioned as a village, which means that there was a church here already in the 14th century. The currently existing stone Church of the Sign of the Most Holy Theotokos was built in 1810.
