The first mentions of the Davydovo area date back to 1554. A charter from Tsar Mikhail Fyodorovich in 1623 states that Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich granted the villages of Valkovshchina, Filandino, and Davydovo to the Vladimir Assumption Women's Monastery in 1554. Since 1663, Davydovo has been part of the estate of the Vladimir Mother of God Nativity Monastery, acquired by Metropolitan Jonah of Rostov and Yaroslavl. The first wooden church was built in 1717 with funds from peasants of nearby villages but burned down in 1723. It is unknown when it was restored, but in 1753 the roof was replaced. In 1756, a new wooden church was built in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord, which stood for 80 years before falling into disrepair.
In 1831, priests Alexey Rozov and Nikita Nikolaev, along with peasant Isaiya Andreev, approached Bishop Parthenius of Vladimir with a request to allow the construction of a new stone church with chapels in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. A total of 3,679 rubles was collected for construction, along with 3,000 rubles in donations from parishioners. All parishioners, possessing skills in stonework, committed to participating in the construction. After receiving permission, they began work.
The church was built in the shape of a cross, measuring 57 arshins in length and 27 arshins in width, with five gilded altars. The floor was laid with ceramic tiles, and a massive chandelier hung from the dome. The bell tower, added in 1911-1912 with funds from Dmitry Ermilovich Chelyshev, cost over 20,000 rubles. The bell tower's design, brought from St. Petersburg, resembled the bell tower of the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul. The height of the bell tower is 77.7 meters, which is 5 meters taller than the bell tower of the Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir. It housed 7 bells, the largest weighing 583.23 kg, and its ringing could be heard in Bogolyubovo. The second bell, weighing 110 poods, served as a warning bell and marked the hours.
In September 1934, police officers removed the bells under the pretext of checking the fire safety of the stairs. However, the church itself was not closed during the years of persecution and was not looted during the Soviet era. Over time, it fell into disrepair and requires major renovations. Work has already been done to replace the roof and construct a foundation. Currently, the church is actively functioning, and a Sunday school has been opened since 2015.
