The village of Ovsyannikovo is located 28 versts from the district town of Kovrov and 90 versts from Vladimir. In the early 17th century, there was a church in the village dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, which is mentioned in the revenue books of the patriarchal treasury office from 1644: "the church of Nicholas the Wonderworker in the estate of Zachariah Fomin's son Tolmachev in the village of Ovsyannikovo." In 1672, it was transferred to the Suzdal Archbishop.

In 1826, on the site of the old wooden Nicholas church, thanks to the efforts of the parishioners, a stone five-domed church with a stone bell tower was built. In 1872, a stone fence was erected around the church. The church has three altars: in the cold part in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, in the warm refectory, on the southern side in the name of John the Baptist, and on the northern side in the name of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker. The church houses ancient icons of Saint Nicholas and the Kazan Mother of God. The Kazan church is associated with the Nicholas church of the village of Kuvezino in the Vyazniki district.

Church documents have been preserved in full: copies of the metric books since 1803, confession lists since 1829, and an inventory of church property compiled in 1882 is kept in the church. The church owns three stone chapels without entrances and one wooden chapel with an entrance. According to the staff, the clergy consists of a priest and a psalmist. Their maintenance is funded by: a state subsidy of 392 rubles, 30 rubles from land, 7 rubles from interest capital, and 250 rubles from service fees, totaling about 700 rubles per year. The clergy members have their own houses built on church land.

The parish includes the village and the villages: Yablontsy, Zagorodki, Konstantinovo, Prudishchi, Obrazhikh, and the hamlet of Romodanovo, located no more than 4 versts from the church. The parish has 105 households, 267 men, and 295 women. Since 1889, a zemstvo public school has been operating in the village, located in a house built by the Taganrog merchant Konon Kitaev.
