The village of Levashovo, located between Yaroslavl and Kostroma, has been known since the mid-16th century and is associated with the name of Tsar Ivan the Terrible. In 1566, he issued a charter that transferred Levashovo along with surrounding villages and wastelands to the Spassky Monastery in Yaroslavl. The monastery managed the village for almost 200 years. This charter mentioned the churches of John Chrysostom and Nicholas the Wonderworker. The Resurrection Church, which will be discussed, was built in 1779 with funds from the parishioners. It had four altars: the Resurrection of Christ, Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, the Holy Trinity of Life-Giving, and Saint Dimitri of Rostov. The church was built in northern traditions, popular in Kostroma and Suzdal, which spread across Russia.

Of particular interest is the bell tower of the Resurrection Church in the late Baroque style, designed by Stepan Andreevich Vorotilov, an outstanding architect of his time. Vorotilov, born in 1741 in the settlement of Bolshie Sali, was self-taught. He started as a fisherman, tailor, and blacksmith, and then learned stonemasonry, drawing, drafting, geometry, and architecture. Vorotilov built many churches, but his name was forgotten, and his works were attributed to other architects. Researcher G. Lukomsky noted that Vorotilov's bell tower impresses with its grandeur and architectural elements. The construction of the complex cost 12 thousand rubles, and Vorotilov received a prize of 15 rubles.

After the revolution, the Resurrection Church in Levashovo remained active until 1935, after which it was closed. The building was used as a warehouse and later transferred to the local community and collective farm. A road was laid over the church cemetery without reburial of the remains, leading to the loss of data about the residents.

In 1959, a hurricane damaged the church, tearing off the roof and three domes. This gave the authorities a reason to close the church, citing its emergency condition. Parishioners tried to contest this decision but were unsuccessful.

The situation changed in the 1980s. In 1986, the church was included in the register of historical and cultural monuments of the Yaroslavl region, and in 1988 it was returned to the believers, and restoration began.
