The first news about Palashkino that has reached us dates back to the reign of Tsar Ivan the Terrible, when the village of Palashkino was mentioned in the census books of the Vladimir district by the scribe Matvey Borisov in 1578, although this village undoubtedly existed earlier.
In 1602, the patrimonial owner of the village of Palashkino, the boyar's son Zamyatnya Bestuzhev, who apparently had his own estate there, gave this estate to the Vladimir Nativity of the Mother of God Monastery.
The Vladimir Nativity Monastery owned the village of Palashkino until the secularization of church estates in 1764 by the will of Empress Catherine II.
For a long time, the village of Palashkino was in the parish of the St. George Church in the village of Chirikovo.
In the second half of the 1850s. In the village of Palashkino, in the central part of the village on the bank of the pond, the construction of a church began, but it was quite slow. Only by 1862 was the Trinity chapel completed and consecrated, and Palashkino officially became a village. The main five-domed brick church in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was completed two years later.
Almost five years after the consecration of the Kazan Church in the village of Palashkino in 1869, a brick three-tiered bell tower with a refectory was also added to it, the construction of which had begun two years earlier. For this construction, the church warden of the village of Palashkino, Moscow merchant and personal honorary citizen Sergei Kuzmich Divakov, was also awarded a silver breast medal on the ribbon of the Order of St. Stanislav.
In 1886, a local wealthy peasant, Sergei Semenovich Krasheninnikov, came up with the initiative to expand the church. He was also a Moscow merchant of the first guild. He was born in 1839, from a local peasant family. Among the migrant peasants who went to Moscow to earn money, he worked in the Seleznevsky baths in Moscow. Over time, from a hired clerk, he became the owner of the Seleznevsky baths complex.
As a result, the Palashkin church doubled in size due to a new warm refectory, crowned with another five-domed structure.
For the construction of the new refectory, S. S. Krasheninnikov was awarded a gold breast medal on the ribbon of the Order of St. Anna. Later, for caring for the needs of the Palashkin church, including the construction of a church fence and two stone gatehouses, he received other awards. In 1892, he received gratitude from the Holy Synod for plastering the walls of the church, and in 1908 he received another gold medal to wear around his neck on the ribbon of the Order of St. Anne.
