In the village of Fominki, located in the Gorokhovets district, there was an Orthodox church with a rich history. Between 1750 and 1753, the widow Princess Marfa Petrovna Dolgorukova built a wooden church here in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Holy Mother of God. However, it burned down in 1774. A year later, with funds from Ural industrialist Nikita Nikitovich Demidov, a new wooden church was built, which was moved to the parish Fominskoye cemetery in 1779. In 1806, a stone church was erected on the site of the wooden one. It housed a highly revered icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, gifted by Prince Odoevsky. Next to the church was a cemetery where priests and patrons were buried.

In January 1934, the church was closed and looted, the bells were sent for melting down, and the bell tower was destroyed in 1935. From 1936, the building of the church was used as a bakery. In 1973, the church was blown up, and the cemetery was destroyed, which was not only the destruction of a historical and architectural monument but also an outrage against the memory and remains of the deceased. A restaurant was built on the site of the destroyed church.

Since 1992, the parish in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God has been revived in Fominki. Until October 2011, services were held in a temporarily adapted room located in the same building as two shops, just three meters from the road.

In 2011, thanks to the efforts of the abbot of the Holy Trinity-Nikolsky Monastery, Igumen Ilya Ivanov, and donations from benefactors from Moscow who wished to remain anonymous, a new church was built in Fominki. It was consecrated by Archbishop Evlogy of Vladimir and Suzdal on October 29, 2011.
