Tserkovnovo

The village is located 13 km south-west of the center of the settlement of the village of Balakhonki and 25 km west of Ivanovo .

In the eighteenth century and in the first half of the nineteenth century, the Church was the patrimony of Count Khvostov. The church in the village already existed at the very beginning of the 18th century, as can be seen from the inscription on the preserved liturgical vessels. Until 1825 the church was wooden, and it burned down. In 1826, instead of it, at the expense of the landowner Count Dmitry Ivanovich Khvostov, a stone church was built. In 1860, a stone bell tower was erected at the church using the means of the merchant of the city of Ivanovo-Voznesensk Mikhail Nikonovich Garelin. There were two thrones in the church: in the cold - in honor of the Assumption of the Mother of God and in the warm chapel - in honor of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin. In 1895, a literacy school was opened in the priest’s house ^[2] .

In the late XIX - early XX centuries, the village was part of the Kochnevsky volost of the Shuisky district of Vladimir province . In 1859 ^[3] there were 61 yards in the village, in 1905 ^[4] - 58 yards.

In the village is located the inactive Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary ^[7] .
