Previously, there was a men's monastery on the site of this desert, which was abolished in 1764. However, according to V. I. Lestvitsyn, there was a women's monastery here, founded, according to legend, in the 15th century by Princess Priimkova, born Gvozdova. Here she died and was buried. Since February 28, 1687, the desert has been assigned to the Pereslavl Danilov Monastery in the Vladimir province. A printed mention of the desert can be found in Vladimir.

The modern stone church with one dome was built in 1822 and has two altars: the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint Nicholas. Previously, there were three wooden churches here, two of which burned down around 1790, and the third was replaced by the current one.

Among the icons in the church, the temple icon of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is especially revered, considered miraculous, although the time of its appearance is unknown. The church lacks manuscripts, old printed books, and ancient utensils.

The church has 36 desyatinas of land, and the parish includes three villages.

The name of this area is associated with the event in the 15th century when Prince Semyon Yuryevich Vorona killed a huge boar on the shore of a nearby lake. In his absence, Princess Feodora was abducted by Prince V. Yu. Shemyaka. Later, Princess Feodora took monastic vows and founded a monastery here, which soon burned down but was restored by Princess Ulyana, daughter of Prince F. D. Priimkov, and Princess Maria, daughter of Prince G. I. Temkin.
