The village of Kupanskoe, located by the Veksa River, is 18 versts from the district town and 140 versts from the provincial center. In the early 17th century, it belonged to the Pereslavl Danilov Monastery, and in 1615, Tsar Mikhail Fyodorovich confirmed the monastery's right to Usolie. In 1764, after the confiscation of monastic lands, Usolie came under state property management.

The history of the church in the village of Usolie is closely linked to the history of the village itself. The inventory of 1610 mentions a church in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord and a priest's house next to it. The land books of 1628 and 1629 state that the Church of the Transfiguration was wooden with a tented roof, containing a Deesis, royal gates, local icons, vestments, books, and other monastic property.

At that time, across the Veksa River in the same village stood another wooden church in honor of Saints Boris and Gleb. The report of 1799 also mentions two wooden churches: the Transfiguration of the Lord and Saints Boris and Gleb. The latter was built in 1747 on the site of a dilapidated structure.

In 1810, a stone church was erected on the site of these two wooden churches, which still exists today. It has two altars: a cold altar in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord and a warm altar in honor of Saints Boris and Gleb. The church is well supplied with utensils, vestments, holy icons, and liturgical books. The icons of Nicholas the Wonderworker and Saint George the Great Martyr are especially revered by the parishioners; the local icons in both the cold and warm churches have silver vestments.
