In the first quarter of the 15th century, the village of Omutskoye (Omutskovo) belonged to Princess Maria, the wife of the Nizhny Novgorod Prince Daniil Borisovich. After the death of her husband, Princess Maria took monastic vows with the name Marina and bequeathed her patrimony, the village of Omutskovo, to the Suzdal Spaso-Evfimiev Monastery.
In 1490, Grand Prince Ivan Ivanovich granted the monastery two meadows along the Podoksa River and the Nerl River from his palace Lopatnitskaya patrimony, adjacent to the village of Omutskoye, which were the subject of a dispute between the monastery and the peasants of the village of Lopatnitskoye. In 1498, according to the charter of Grand Prince Ivan Vasilyevich, the lands near Omutskoye, which belonged to the Spaso-Evfimiev Monastery and Prince Boris Ivanovich Godunov, were demarcated. Omutskovo belonged to the said monastery until the monastery estates were taken over by the treasury in 1764.
The existing stone church in the village with the same bell tower was built in 1755 through the zeal of the parishioners.
