        • 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.
