The first time Borisovskoye is mentioned is in the spiritual of Grand Duke Ivan Kalita from 1328. The Grand Duke bequeathed "to his son Semyon in Vladimir the village of Borisovskoye"; thus, Borisovskoye was a palace village. In 1515, Grand Duke Vasily Ivanovich granted this village to the Vladimir Dmitrievsky Cathedral, ordering that "two quarters of rye, and a quarter of wheat, and a sieve of peas, and two money for salt and firewood" be annually given from the village to the clergy. Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich, as shown by excerpts from the census books preserved in the church archive, granted this village "to the Ascension Convent in the Kremlin city of Moscow, for the eternal commemoration of the Empress Tsarina and Grand Duchess Marya Volodimerovna." The village remained in the possession of this monastery until the monastery estates were confiscated, and then it passed into the hands of the state.
The ancient name of the village Borisovskoye indicates the Slavic origin of its first inhabitants. The ancient name of the village also indicates that there was a church here during the reign of Ivan Kalita, but there is no information about it before the beginning of the 17th century.
The patriarchal tax books of 1628 list the Church of Basil of Caesarea in the sovereign's palace village... According to local legend, both of these churches burned down, and instead of two churches after the fire, one was built.
The existing stone church with the same bell tower was built in 1835 on the site of a former wooden church, which was used to fire bricks for the church under construction.
