The first mention of the village dates back to 1689, and in 1693 it is mentioned again in connection with the interrogation of the residents of the village of Golysheva, Feoklisto Porozov, Konstantinka Kharin, and Andryushka Akhidov, who were summoned to Kungur by the voivode Alexei Kalitin. They were asked whether they had given consent to the Turk for a petition from Yakov Zagailov to travel to Moscow on secular matters. Before the arrival of the Russians, these lands belonged to the Tatars and remained uninhabited until the 17th century.
After the wooden church in the village of Sazhino burned down in 1802, it was decided to build a stone one. Construction began in 1805 and lasted five years. The summer church in honor of the Archangel Michael was completed in 1837. In 1880, a chapel in honor of the icon of the Mother of God, Three-Handed, was added to the church, consecrated on June 10, 1881. The iconostasis for this chapel was purchased for 150 rubles from the Assumption Church of Grad-Kungur and was fully gilded. The church became three-altar: in honor of the Archangel Michael, St. Nicholas, and the icon of the Mother of God, Three-Handed. Initially, the church was surrounded by a stone fence with iron grilles.
The icon of the Mother of God, Three-Handed, was especially venerated by both local residents and parishioners from neighboring parishes. Locals claimed that the icon had been revered since ancient times, and in the last twenty years, its veneration had only increased. The reasons for the veneration of the icon are unknown, but some associate it with its antiquity, suggesting that it remained from the burned wooden church. The icon measures 1.5 arshins in length and 1 arshin in width, adorned with a copper-gilded riza and stones. The largest number of pilgrims gathers for the service of molebens on July 8 and during the second week after Pentecost, when the icon is carried to Spasskaya Hill. On this day, about 100 people from neighboring parishes follow the icon, not counting local parishioners. The molebens at Spasskaya Hill last for five hours, after which the icon is returned to the Sazhino church. Of the 800 people who come on July 8, almost half participate in the moleben.
The bell tower of the Mikhailo-Archangel Church housed seven bells. The first, the chime bell, weighed 105 poods and 2 pounds and was cast in Slobodsk in 1844. The second, the polyelai bell, weighed 27 poods and 16 pounds and was cast at the Suksun factory in 1814. The third bell weighed 7 poods, the fourth 4 poods, the fifth 2 poods, the sixth 1.5 poods, and the seventh 1 pood.
The Sazhino parish included 24 villages located some distance from the church. The parish was overseen by Bishop Vladimir, and in 1894, by Bishop Peter.
From 1799 to 1805, there was one staff of clergy serving at the Sazhino church. The first priest was Trofim Stakhiev, who passed away in 1803. After him served Yefimiy Popov, Mikhail Sapozhnikov, and others. The longest-serving was Fyodor Vasilyevsky, the son of a deacon from the Ryazan diocese. He graduated from the Ryazan Theological Seminary in 1827 and was ordained as a priest of the Sazhino church on March 21, 1836, by Bishop Arkady. In the same year, he was appointed spiritual father for the Kungur district and died in 1860 at this church. Timofey Popov served for 17 years. The last priest of the church before its closure could not be identified.
