The village of Buyakovo, an ancient Russian settlement, is mentioned in the list of populated places of the Andom district. Written sources from 1571 refer to the village of Buyakovo on the Shacha River: "and they placed the data in the Suditslavskaya record in Andom, according to the given Foma, and the nickname of Zamyatni Vasilyevich Likharev." At that time, there was a church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a wooden roof and a warm church of Dmitry Prilutsky in the village. Three bells were brought from the village of Maximovsky from the Trinity Church, located five kilometers from Buyakovo. The village had a monastery house, three yards, a priest, a sexton, and a prosphora-maker, three cells for the poor, as well as fourteen houses of peasants and landless laborers. Later, the village of Buyakovo and nearby villages were transferred to the Trinity-Sergius Monastery by boyar Fofanov. His descendant, Nikita Fedorovich Fofanov, was a well-known printer and publicist of the 17th century, who corrected and published church books for worship.
The village of Buyakovo served as a religious-administrative center. In 1810, a stone church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a bell tower was built here. At that time, the church expanded its influence, covering a parish of five versts in the surrounding area, which included twenty-four villages and four hundred twenty-nine yards. A rural road from Molvitin to the cities of Lyubim and Bui passed through the village. Merchants often left their goods in the village, where lively markets with local and imported goods took place. In the early 1940s, the Church of the Presentation was closed and used for economic purposes. Today, it is in a state of neglect, with gaping holes in the roof and vegetation on the protrusions, gradually falling into ruin.
