      • The first wooden church here was consecrated on 7 September 1755 in the presence of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna.
      • In 1791 the church burned down after a lightning strike; the red-brick chapel built in its place still stands.
      • The next wooden church (1792, architect Luigi Rusca) was described by Griboyedov in his sketch "A Trip Out of Town".
      • The present stone church in the Russian-Byzantine style was laid down in 1876 and consecrated in 1880.
      • The settlement by the church was called Suzdalskaya: the Shuvalovs moved peasants here from the Suzdal district.
      • The church was never closed in Soviet times.
