Halfway between Suzdal and Gavrilov Posad, in the middle of the huge Suzdal Opolye, there is the ancient village of Podolets. The landmark of this settlement since the 19th century is the stone Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a high bell tower. This church is an interesting example of a rural church in the style of late classicism with a unique volumetric composition.
The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in the village of Podolets was built in 1816 at the expense of the landowner E. P. Buturlina and parishioners in honor of the victory of the Russian people over the French in the Patriotic War of 1812. It is clear that the temple was founded after the expulsion of Napoleon's troops from the territory of the Russian Empire and consecrated in the year indicated above. Later, a bell tower was built near the western facade of the temple. An interesting detail has been preserved on the belfry to this day. On the facade of the bell tower, on the western side, relief numbers and letters have been preserved: 1914 go. proiz. shtu. rab. This inscription informs that in 1914 plastering work was carried out on the bell tower.
In the 30s of the twentieth century, the temple was expectedly closed, looted, and its building was used for many years as an outbuilding. Later, a thresher was placed in it - an agricultural machine that threshed grain, that is, removed seeds from the stalks of ears and husks.
