Historical information

The ground on which the Church of the Transfiguration and the Church of the Resurrection now stand was once the site of the Monastery of St. Demetrius.

In 1690 Metropolitan Hilarion replaced the monastery's ramshackle church with a new wooden one which was "exceedingly large, tall and magnificent", and had the monastery enclosed by a wall with towers and gates.

The monastery was closed down during the reign of Catherine II and in 1773 the wooden church was dismantled. The Church of the Transfiguration from the village of Kozliatyevo (1756) is comparable in many of its architectural merits with that no longer surviving seventeenth-century wooden church, for it is also "exceedingly large, tall and magnificent".
