In ancient documents, the "village of Suvorotskoye" is first mentioned in 1598 in the so-called "travel record," written during the reign of the first patriarch, Job, at the request of the elders of the Bogolyubov and Tsar-Constantine monasteries. The village of Suvorotskoye then belonged to the Bogolyubov Monastery. From 1627 to 1633, a third of the village belonged to a certain Ivan Survotsky. In the mid-17th century, the village had two owners: two-thirds remained with the Bogolyubov Monastery, and one-third was transferred to the okolnichy Pyotr Tikhonovich Trakhopiatov, and later to his brother, Ivan Tikhonovich. In 1687, a third of the village belonged to the stolnik Pyotr Alekseevich Golovin. In 1706, the village of Suvorotskoye was owned by Lieutenant Chelishcheva of the Life Guards Cavalry Regiment. It later passed into the possession of the Rusinov landowners, who sold it to Lieutenant Colonel Petrov in 1842.
The exact date when a church was first founded in the village of Suvorotskoye is unknown. According to church chronicles, the monastery church existed until 1698. That year, a new wooden church was built, which lasted until 1780. That year, the village of Suvorotskoye received a donated heated church dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker from the village of Baglachev. This heated church, along with timber from the existing church in Suvorotskoye, was used to build a new unheated church dedicated to St. Florus and St. Laurus.
The new church had a pitched roof on both sides, with covered walkways from the north to the south doors. A similar passage was built to the bell tower, which stood separately from the church. These passages and the bell tower were dismantled in 1838 due to their dilapidated condition. In 1861, the church's roof was dismantled, an octagonal tribune was built on it, and the church was covered with iron. A new stone church is currently under construction in the village of Suvorotskoye.
