The Georgievskaya Church, originally located in Yegorye village, is now situated on the grounds of the Mikhailo-Arkhangelsky Monastery in Yuriev-Polsky. This wooden church, built in 1718, was part of the monastic buildings of the Georgievsky Men's Monastery.
In 1725, the Georgievsky Monastery was joined to the Yuriev Arkhangelsky Monastery. At that time, it included two oak churches, the Georgievskaya and Pokrovskaya, and had nineteen monks, four servants, and fifty-seven male peasants living in ten households.
In 1764, the monastery in Yegorye was abolished, and the Georgievskaya Church became part of the church in Turabyevo village, where services continued for almost a century and a half.
In the 20th century, changes affected both people and historical monuments. The village of Yegorye disappeared, and a similar fate could have befallen the Georgievskaya Church. To prevent this, in 1967-1968, thanks to the efforts of L.V. and V.M. Anisimov, the wooden church was relocated to Yuriev-Polsky. Here, it became part of the exhibition of the historical, architectural, and art museum on the grounds of the Mikhailo-Arkhangelsky Monastery.
