Modern Lysye Gory once consisted of four separate settlements: the village of Lysye Gory, a station settlement of the same name, the village of Grafshchina, and the village of Stara Bakhmetyevka. The village of Lysye Gory, previously owned by landowners, is now located in the southern part of the settlement and was founded in the 1730s between the first and second censuses. The name of the village is associated with a nearby mountain, and the second name refers to the church's altar.

In 1743, at the initiative of State Councillor Grigory Ivanovich Orlov, a church was built in Lysye Gory in honor of the Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica. More than a hundred years later, in 1875, landowner A. Belyaev constructed a new wooden church with a bell tower and altar in honor of the same saint, as the old church had fallen into disrepair. In 1904, landowner Fyodor Petrovich Bartenev carried out interior finishing, painting, and insulation of the church. In the mid-1930s, during the Soviet regime, the church was closed and subsequently destroyed.

On September 9, 1990, a temporary church in honor of St. Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica was consecrated in one of the oldest buildings in Lysye Gory, which holds historical and architectural value. This former stone mansion was renovated and repurposed for the needs of the church, which opened a Sunday school. In 2009, 800 meters from this church on Mira Street, near the Olympic Sports Complex, the construction of a new stone church began.
