In the 17th century, the village of Spasskoye was a palace settlement. It housed a wooden church dedicated to the Resurrection of Christ. In the patriarchal books of the treasury office from 1654, it is mentioned as "The Church of the Resurrection of Christ in the sovereign's palace village of Sime in the settlement of Spasskoye at the spring of the tribute of twenty-eight altyns and two dengi, tenilnitsa grivna." In the 18th century, Spasskoye came under the ownership of the Golitsyn princes, and one of them replaced the old wooden church with a stone one with a bell tower in 1766. This church has survived to this day, and it has one altar dedicated to the Transfiguration of the Lord. By the end of the 19th century, the village of Spasskoye had 38 households, 140 men, and 187 women.
