In the first half of the 16th century, a wooden church dedicated to Bishop Leontius, the heavenly patron of the Rostov land, who was killed by pagans in 1071, stood at the site of the Leontievsky burial ground. Over time, the village likely moved closer to the road, leaving only the rural cemetery around the Leontiev church.

Among the churches in Luchinsky, Burmakino, and Davydkovo, the Leontiev church and its bell tower stand out with a pronounced vertical composition. Ancient Russian architects always considered the landscape and the connection of the building with nature. The Leontiev church is located on a low marshy bank of the Yukhoti River, and a powerful 'ascent' of architectural forms was necessary to create a memorable architectural image.

The main temple of the ancient burial ground, the tall pillarless church of Leontius of Rostov, was built in 1730. Its appearance has been significantly altered by later reconstructions and other calamities, but the grandeur and scale characteristic of Yaroslavl rural architecture of the first half of the 18th century are still felt. The traditions of 17th-century Yaroslavl architecture are manifested in the decor: the keel-shaped frames of two windows and the icon case on the southern wall, wide pilasters at the corners of the square, and cornices of a profile typical for this era.

The extensive refectory, built in 1842, lacks expressive features and does not deserve separate attention.

The bell tower is a tall octagonal pillar topped with a graceful tent with three tiers of 'ears.' The narrow, elongated arches of the ringing tier and the relief pilasters on the faces of the octagon emphasize the lightness and height of the structure. It is likely that it originally stood separately from the church.
