The Transfiguration Church in the village of Spasskoye, built of stone along with a bell tower and a fence, was erected in 1822 thanks to the efforts of the parishioners. The cemetery is located 200 fathoms from the church and is surrounded by a moat and a wooden fence. The church has three altars: in the cold part, in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord, in the warm part, in the name of St. Nicholas of Myra, and St. Sergius of Radonezh. The church is located 55 versts from Kostroma, 55 versts from the town of Buy, and 15 versts from the village of Molvitino and the town of Sudislavl. The nearest churches are 9 versts away.
In the 17th century, the village was part of the Kostroma district according to administrative-territorial division. According to church-administrative division, the parish belonged to the Pleskaya hundred. In 1620, the church "Transfiguration of the Savior" is mentioned in the estate of Prince Roman Gagarin in the village of Spasskoye.
In 1629, widow Tatyana Fedorova, wife of Levontiev, and her children, the courtiers Zamyatnya and Pavel Fedorov, owned part of the village by a charter granted in 1621 by clerk Andrey Voreyev. Half of the village belonged to them, while the other half belonged to Prince Roman Ivanovich Gagarin, Boris Ivanovich Pushkin, Ivan Leontiev, and Yuri Ivanovich Zubatov with their stepmother Oksinya. There was a wooden church of the Transfiguration of the Savior in the village and another church with a refectory in honor of the miracle worker Nicholas, Sergius, and Isidore and Savvatiy of Solovetsky. All church property belonged to the landowners, gentry, and parishioners. On church land lived priest Yermey Yakovlev, deacon Petrushko Stepanov, and sexton Nikitka, as well as a landowner and estate owner.
In 1695, the church "Transfiguration of the Savior" was located in the Andomsky stan in the village of Spasskoye in the Sudislavl hundred.
