The village of Bobrovskoye is located 33 versts from Yekaterinburg, on the right hilly bank of the Iset River, opposite the mouth of the Bobrovka River, from which it got its name. The Bobrovsky parish includes the village and the villages: Donka, Vyukhina, Fomina, and Klyuchi. Until 1866, the parish also included the villages of Malaya Brusyanka and Guseva, and until 1880, Kosulino.
The village of Bobrovskoye existed as early as the beginning of the 18th century and had a church. In February 1774, it was attacked by rebel Pugachevites, led by residents of the Klyuchevskaya and Fominskaya villages. The church elder himself brought Tatars to the church, who robbed and killed residents, and gave them church money. Priest Boris Gobov fled to Yekaterinburg during the attack. However, the church survived.
Until 1809-1810, the residents of the parish were state peasants, and then, except for the village of Klyuchi, they were transferred to mining workers. From 1863, they were freed from mandatory labor and became known as rural inhabitants. All parishioners are Russian and Orthodox. The residents are engaged in making wheels, carts, sleds, working at mills and lime quarries, and farming.
It is unknown when the first church was laid and consecrated, but it already existed in 1709. On January 25, 1792, the church burned down, and a new stone one was built with the parishioners' funds, consecrated in 1793 in the name of St. Archangel Michael. The church was small: 2 sazhen 2 arshins long and 3 sazhen 2 ¼ arshins wide.
In 1799, an altar was laid, and in 1810 it was consecrated on the northern side in the name of St. Martyr Paraskeva. In 1849, an altar was laid on the southern side in honor of the Epiphany of the Lord, consecrated in 1854. The side walls of the refectory of the main church were replaced with round stone columns. In 1871, the bell tower and the western wall of the refectory were dismantled, and from 1871 to 1874, the church was extended by 3 sazhen and a four-tiered stone bell tower with extensions was built.
Due to the dilapidation and crampedness of the church, at the request of the parishioners, on July 26, 1886, it was permitted to dismantle the old one and build a new one. In 1890, a new church was laid. In May 1891, the old church was dismantled, but the side altars and the bell tower were incorporated into the new one. In 1896, the reconstruction of the church was completed, and on November 8, it was consecrated. The reconstruction cost 9129 rubles 66 kopecks, and from 1871 to 1874, up to 8000 rubles. There are plans for the construction of a new bell tower.
The iconostases in all the churches remained the same, made in 1827, 1854, and 1865 by the Golyshev masters, costing more than 6000 rubles. In the villages of Fomina and Klyuchi, there are two wooden chapels, the reasons and time of their construction are unknown. The churches own 10 wooden benches in the market square.
In 1854, a school was opened in the village with funds from the mining department, which in 1879 came under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Education. It is now a women's two-class school in its own building. In 1896, a mixed church-parish school was opened. Children from the village and surrounding villages study in the schools. The number of parishioners is 6678 people of both sexes.
