The village of Lyakhovitsy is located 35 versts from Vladimir and 10 versts from Suzdal. Until 1863, it was considered a village. In that year, with the funds from parishioners, a single-altar church was built in honor of the holy princes Boris and Gleb. The church building is made of stone, and in 1871, a warm refectory with a stone altar in honor of the icon of the Kazan Mother of God was added to it. In 1875, the peasants of the village of Andreytsevo arranged an altar in the refectory in honor of Archangel Michael. The bell tower is also made of stone. The church is well supplied with utensils, vestments, holy icons, and liturgical books. All church documents are preserved: copies of the metric books since 1863, confession lists since 1864, and an inventory of church property compiled in 1863.
The church land includes 20 fathoms of homestead land in width and 60 fathoms in length, 2 dessiatinas and 884 square fathoms of haymaking land, and 30 dessiatinas and 1536 square fathoms of arable land. There is a plan for the land, but there is no land registry book. According to the parish staff, there is a priest and a psalmist. The annual income of the parish amounts to 500 rubles in silver, obtained from land and sacramental fees. The parish has its own houses. The parish includes the village and the villages of Andreytsevo and Turygino, with a total of 212 households, 644 men, and 680 women. There is also a zemstvo public school in the village.
