In 1797, Paul I granted the village of Kardavil, the village of Ponetaevka, and the village of Korino to the Russian architect, actual state councilor, and knight V. V. Bazhenov. Part of Ponetaevka was transferred to his son Vladimir, who was already showing architectural abilities and actively assisted his father. Vasily Ivanovich Bazhenov passed away in 1799, leaving his estate by spiritual testament to his three sons: Colonel Vsevolod Vasilyevich, Major General Konstantin Vasilyevich, and Major General Vladimir Vasilyevich. It is possible that Vladimir became the architect of the church in honor of Saint Vladimir the Equal-to-the-Apostles, built in 1823, after his death.

The bell tower of the Vladimir church is a monument of urban planning and architecture. The "Address Calendar of the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese" for 1904 mentions the temple, which has not survived to this day, and its altars: on the upper floor was the altar of Saint Vladimir the Equal-to-the-Apostles, and on the lower, the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. The church was made of brick, two-storied, and had two altars. During the Soviet era, it was closed and destroyed, but the four-tiered bell tower has survived.
