Karash, previously known as Svyatoslavl in the 18th-19th centuries, was a state-owned village. In the past, there was a wooden Resurrection Monastery here. In the 18th-19th centuries, the locals successfully engaged in timber trade, which allowed them to build a stone church independently, without the help of wealthy patrons. The summer Kazan church, which is currently being actively restored, was built in 1786. It has five domes and looks older than its age. In this region, on the border of the Yaroslavl and Vladimir provinces, builders seemingly preserved the traditions of the past, continuing to erect churches in the 19th century based on models that existed a century and a half earlier. There are many churches here that externally resemble buildings from the late 17th century, although they actually belong to the 18th century or even later. This is explained by the fact that the churches were built through collective efforts, and the locals oriented themselves towards their traditions rather than Western trends. Hence the characteristic five-domed structure and tent roof. The second church, warm and single-domed, is currently missing its dome and roof and was built much later, in 1831. It represents a mix of rural Empire style with a provincial interpretation of Russian-Byzantine eclecticism. Although it is not an outstanding architectural monument in itself, together with the Kazan church, they create a harmonious pair.

In 1997, thanks to the efforts of the villagers, the bell tower of the Kazan church began to be restored from ruins. The spacious bell tower was transformed into a temple. In recent years, the refectory has been restored, allowing for an expansion of the church space. Currently, regular services are held in the church. Much work has been done, but there is still a long and complex process ahead for the restoration of the entire church building.
