In the 17th century, the village of Shemetovo belonged to the boyar Ivan Bogdanovich Miloslavsky (a relative of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich through his first wife, Maria Ilyinichna Miloslavskaya), who built a stone church in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in 1676. Previously, a wooden church dedicated to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker stood here.
In 1706, the southern aisle was built in honor of the Icon of the Holy Mother of God "of the Sign," and in 1778, the northern aisle in honor of St. Nicholas. In 1913, the existing bell tower was built.
