The ancient village of Zabolotye is located on the Soti River, and its name indicates its location, behind the swamp. In the 16th and early 17th centuries, it was a palace village with a wooden church in honor of Archangel Michael. In March 1544, Tsar Ivan the Terrible, traveling from the Kalazinsky Monastery to the Trinity-Sergius Monastery, stopped in Zabolotye, where a bear hunt was organized for him. In 1708, the village belonged to the nobleman Fyodor Petrovich Dubrovsky, and at that time the Archangel Church existed.

Since 1734, Zabolotye became the property of Count Semyon Andreyevich Saltykov, a relative of Empress Anna Ioannovna. That year, the church burned down, and the new owner built a wooden church in honor of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin with chapels in honor of the prophet Elijah and Archangel Michael. Later, the estate was owned by his son Count Vladimir Semyonovich, and then by his grandson Sergey Vladimirovich, who built a stone Intercession church in 1756. In 1804, Countess Saltykova expanded the refectory by adding two chapels. For a long time, the church housed an icon of the Savior, which was received from the Assumption Savvino and Serapion Monasteries in 1765.

From 1904 until the closure of the Intercession Church in 1936, it was served by Priest Simeon Lileev, born in 1873 in the village of Maloye Alekshino. He graduated from the Pereslavl Spiritual School and the Vifansk Spiritual Seminary, after which he worked as a teacher. In 1898, Simeon was ordained as a priest to the Nikolsky Church in the village of Deryuzino, and in 1904 he was transferred to the Intercession Church in Zabolotye. For his service, he was elevated to the rank of protodeacon.

In 1936, the authorities closed the Intercession Church, despite Father Simeon's efforts to preserve it. In the summer of 1937, persecutions against the Russian Orthodox Church began, and Father Simeon, living in the village of Kovalovo, was arrested. On September 11, he was imprisoned in the Zagorsk prison, and on October 10, 1937, he was sentenced to execution and shot on October 13 at the Butovo firing range.

After the closure, the church was looted, the refectory was destroyed, and a road was laid in its place. The bell tower remained without a dome but with remnants of frescoes. The restoration of the church began in 1993 with the formation of an Orthodox community and the appointment of protodeacon Sergey Ermilov, who revived the liturgical life. In 2006, Priest Andrey Atlanov became the rector, who established educational work and took patronage over the school-garden in the village of Fedorcovo. Services in the Intercession Church are held regularly.

10 kilometers from Zabolotye is the village of Shepelevo, where there used to be a church in honor of the prophet Elijah. Now a chapel has been built on this site, where water blessing services are held on the saint's memory day and during holidays.
