    The village of Novoye is located northwest of the Bogolyubov Monastery, 12 miles from the city of Vladimir. Legend has it that this village was formed from several small nearby settlements by agreement of peasants belonging to the abolished Pokrovsky Monastery, located at the mouth of the Nerl River. Novoye remained in the possession of this monastery until the abolition of monastic estates, when it became state property.

    At the beginning of the 17th century, a church already existed here, as evidenced by entries in the patriarchal tax books, where under 1628 it is listed as "the Church of St. Elijah in the village of Novoye, in the estate of the Pokrovsky Monastery, at the mouth of the Nerl River…"

    In 1700, a new church was built in Novoye; it was consecrated by Nikon, Abbot of the Pokrovsky Monastery. At the end of the 18th century, In place of the wooden church, which had already fallen into disrepair, the parishioners of the village of Novoye conceived the idea of building a stone church, using the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin from the then-abolished Pokrovsky Monastery. Bishop Victor of Vladimir granted them permission to dismantle this church and move it to Novoye selo, but when they began dismantling the church and one of them began removing the cross, he immediately went blind. This miracle astonished everyone, and the Novoye peasants abandoned their plan. After this, a wooden church was once again built in Novoye selo in place of the stone church.

    In 1831, a stone church was finally built; it was consecrated in 1843. This stone church, with its identical bell tower, still stands today.
