The village of Irkovo has been mentioned since 1608, when local residents submitted a petition to Tsar False Dmitry II, complaining about the oppression from "the state’s armed men." These abuses, including robberies and violence, led to devastation and famine. The outcome of the petition is unknown, but by 1692, there was already a "Church of the Entrance of the Holy Virgin" in the village, which was rebuilt in 1752. In 1867, the construction of a stone church with a refectory and a Nicholas chapel began. The main cold Vvedensky church was consecrated in 1880 under the guidance of a priest from the village of Zinovyevo, A.V. Tsvetaeva, the grandfather of poetess Marina Tsvetaeva. The parish included the village of Irkovo, and the church was affiliated with the Pokrovskaya church in Zinovyevo.

During the Soviet period, the church was closed, and the refectory and bell tower were destroyed, although the main volume of the building and the adjacent cemetery with a monument to the Irkovo residents who died in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 were recognized as historical and architectural monuments.

The restoration of the Vvedenskaya church began in the 1990s and continues to this day, starting with the addition of the bell tower. Photographs clearly demonstrate the quality of the new constructions before and after whitewashing.
