    Tradition connects the foundation of the churchyard with the time of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich's return from Kazan. Indeed, the troops could return along the Sudogda River to the Klyazma. The original church of the 16th century was built on the left bank of the Voiminga River, near the Murom road, where, according to legend, the tsar's squad rested. But the church built at the beginning of the 17th century for some reason became deserted and in the patriarchal books until 1635 was listed among the church empty lands. It is possible that this could be due to robberies and the proximity of the Murom tract. In 1635, a new wooden church was built, but on the other bank of the river and away from the main road. Just like the previous church, it was consecrated in the name of the Transfiguration of the Lord. Until recently, traces of the former cemetery remained from the old location of the church. In 1715, another church in honor of Our Lady of Kazan was built in the churchyard. And in 1808, instead of two wooden churches, one stone temple with a bell tower was built.
