The village of Pogrebishchi, located on the Chernaya River, was given to Ivan Samarin in 1625 by a charter of Tsar Vasily Ivanovich "for the siege of Moscow." There was a wooden church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the village. The village of Pogrebishchi went down in history under different names. The settlement was known among the people under different names: "Pogrebishchi", "Nikola-Yaslishchi", "Samara" (associated with the surname of its owner Ivan Samarin). These names are partly explained by the legend that the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker appeared either in the cellar (Pogrebishchi), or in the stable of the Nikolskaya Church on the manger (yaslitsy) - grates on which hay is placed for horses (Yaslishchi). The official name of the village is "Pogrebishchi". The village was known under this name since the beginning of the 17th century. Some Toronimists explain the name "Pogrebishchi" by the fact that these places were used to bury random people who, for various reasons, were not given a funeral service and were buried outside the cemeteries, for example, Poles. In Rus', "Pogrebishchi" was also the name for the places of common burial of those killed on the battlefield (this is the second version of the name of the village). But we can remember that old cemeteries where burials had ceased were also called "Pogrebishchi". So, it is very possible that the village arose not far from such an old cemetery. In 1758, a five-domed stone church with a bell tower was built and consecrated in the name of the Life-Giving Trinity. The tent-roofed bell tower with two rows of "rumors" was connected to the church by means of a refectory, probably expanded in the middle of the 19th century and rebuilt again in 1904.

In the middle of the 17th century, the village of Kutukovo was part of the patrimony of the Goritsky Monastery in Pereslavl-Zalessky, and after the abolition of the monastic patrimony, it was transferred to the state department. In the patriarchal tax books of 1656, the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is noted in this village; the subsequent fate of this church is unknown. The existing stone church in the village of Kutukovo was built with funds from parishioners in 1833. The stone bell tower was built at the same time as the church. In 1968, the temple received the status of an architectural monument. After restoration in the 1980s, the former church housed the repository of the Central State Archive of Film, Photo, and Fond Documents of the RSFSR. After 1992, the archive was removed, and the church building was returned to believers.

According to legend, Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, while organizing the Suzdal region, found that the city of Suzdal was not "on the spot", but "near the shallowest river". Soon, four miles from the city, he chose a place on the right bank of the Nerl River, not far from where the Kamenka River flows into it and which in ancient times controlled the river exit from the city. In 1152, Yuri Dolgoruky ordered the construction of a fortress, the building material had already been prepared, when the prince suddenly abandoned his intention. Since then, the village was called Kideksha (from the word "to leave"). And on an elevated place in the middle of the village, Yuri Dolgoruky's craftsmen built the first white-stone church in those parts, building it from large, smoothly hewn limestone stones. In 1780, next to the severe and majestic Borisoglebskaya Church, a small church was built in the name of the holy first martyr Stephen with a high gable roof, reminiscent of a wooden residential house. Not far away, a slender octagonal tent-roofed gate bell tower, erected on a square base, rose up, and a fence with the Holy Gates appeared. The tent-roofed bell tower with a passage arch was erected in the 18th century. Its tent is somewhat different from the usual Suzdal concave tents - it is straight, with a wide "police". Until the 20th century, a bell hung on it, dated 1552 - a gift from Ivan the Terrible on the occasion of the capture of Kazan. After it began to fall to the side a few years after the end of construction, the architects strengthened the foundation, moved the center of gravity and stabilized it. For more than two centuries, it has been crookedly rising from the Suzdal land, for which it was popularly called the "falling bell tower".
