The church dedicated to the Tikhvin Icon of the Mother of God was built at the city cemetery thanks to donations from residents. The project was approved on January 10, 1846, and on June 26 of the same year, the day of the Tikhvin Icon celebration, the foundation of the church was laid. Construction lasted over ten years, and on September 8, 1857, the church was consecrated by the Moscow bishop Filaret Drozdov. Initially, the bell tower was wooden. The old cemetery was located to the east of the church and was surrounded by a stone fence with towers, and on the street side, by an iron grille. Until 1873, the church was attached to the Epiphany Cathedral in the city of Bogorodsk and did not have its own parish. Services were held only in the summer. In 1871, a refectory was added to the west wall of the church to increase its capacity.

On June 21, 1873, the church gained independence, with a priest and a psalmist serving there. The parish included the eastern part of the city and the villages of Torbeevo, Lanino, and Maloe Bunyakovo. From this time, metric books and confession lists began to be kept in the church. There were wooden houses for elderly women and a caretaker, as well as a shed for firewood. In 1874, the construction of a stone bell tower began, completed in 1878. The bell tower was connected to the church by a stone porch, under which a room for the caretaker was located. Bells were raised to the bell tower, the largest of which weighed over three hundred poods.

In 1885, the church began receiving support from the Bogorodsk-Glukhov Manufactory, led by A.I. Morozov. That same year, the city society donated a plot of land for the construction of a rectory. Two years later, a two-story stone house was built, which housed the church school. In 1887, the old refectory was dismantled, and in 1889, a new one with two chapels was built in its place, tripling the church's capacity. The construction was overseen by architect Ivan Mikhailovich Vasilyev. On May 29, 1891, the church was visited by Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich and Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, who inspected the new iconostasis in the style of the 16th century.

In the fall of 1892, a society of banner bearers was formed in Bogorodsk, timed to the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the repose of Sergius of Radonezh and the procession from Moscow to the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. From this time, processions began to take place in Bogorodsk, attracting many people.

The interior decoration of the church amazed with the richness and complexity of the execution of iconostases and church utensils. In the 20th century, the church continued to be adorned. Two locally revered icons were decorated with silver oklads, new banners were made, and a valuable shroud was donated. On May 12-13, 1918, Patriarch Tikhon visited Bogorodsk, and a Divine Liturgy with a procession was held in the Tikhvin Church.

The church was closed in the early 1930s, desecrated, and two tiers of the bell tower were destroyed. A park and a dance floor were arranged on the site of the cemetery. On May 28, 1991, a church parish community was registered, and the restoration of the church began under the guidance of Archimandrite Sergey Shagaev. The facades and bell tower were restored, bells were acquired, domes were erected, and a porcelain iconostasis was constructed. On July 9, 2008, Metropolitan Juvenaly performed the Great Consecration of the restored church.
