The village of Omutskoye is located 40 versts from Vladimir and 6 versts from Suzdal, on the banks of the Nerl River. In the first quarter of the 15th century, it belonged to Princess Maria, the wife of the Nizhny Novgorod prince Daniil Borisovich. After her husband's death, Princess Maria took monastic vows under the name Marina and transferred her estate, the village of Omutskoe, to the Suzdal Spaso-Evfimiev Monastery.

In 1490, Grand Prince Ivan Ivanovich gifted the monastery two meadows by the Podoksa River and the Nerl River, which bordered the village of Omutskoye and were the subject of dispute between the monastery and the peasants of the village of Lopatnitsa. In 1498, by the decree of Grand Prince Ivan Vasilyevich, land demarcation was conducted near Omutskoye, belonging to the Spaso-Evfimiev Monastery and Prince Boris Ivanovich Godunov. Omutskoe remained under the monastery's ownership until the confiscation of monastic lands in 1764.

The stone church with a bell tower in the village was built in 1755 through the efforts of the parishioners. The church has three altars: in the cold part in the name of St. Ephrem the Syrian, in the warm refectory in the name of St. Simeon Stylites and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Church documents have been preserved: copies of metric books since 1780, confession lists since 1829; an inventory of church property was compiled in 1881.

The church land includes: a homestead area of 1.5 dessiatines, meadow land, 2 dessiatines 2252 square fathoms, and arable land, 30 dessiatines; plans and boundary books exist only for the meadow land. According to the clergy's regulations, there is a priest and a psalmist. The annual income of the clergy amounts to about 600 rubles in silver, of which the interest from church capital is 200 rubles, from land 325 rubles, and from church services more than 250 rubles. The clergy have their own houses located on church land. The parish includes one village with 122 households, where 353 men and 382 women reside. Since 1886, a church-parish school has been operating in the village.
