The village of Glyadkovo is located on the Kuks River. The first mention of it appears in a charter dated January 17, 1547, addressed to the Suzdal city officials and tax collector from Tsar and Grand Duke Ivan Vasilyevich. At that time, Glyadkovo was the estate of the Pokrovsky Monastery in Suzdal, owned by Princess Yefimiya Shemyachicheva and her children. The abbess appealed to the tsar with a request to free her possessions from state taxes. In response, the tsar issued a charter stating: "The abbess of the Holy Protection, Princess Yefimiya Shemyachicheva, with her children, petitioned me that no postal fees be collected from their village of Glyadkovo and from the surrounding villages, and that no poll tax be assigned to them."

In 1826, thanks to the efforts of the parishioners, a stone two-story church with a bell tower made of the same material was built in the village. The main altar was located on the lower floor and was dedicated to Saint Dmitry of Thessalonica, while the upper floor was dedicated to the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.

The clergy lived in wooden houses that were built by the parishioners in 1888.

During the Soviet era, the church was closed and partially destroyed: its roof, bell tower, and church fence were demolished.
