The Kazan Church in the village of Kologrivovo was built in 1795 thanks to the efforts of Ensign Feodosia Vasilyevna Kologrivova. The church building was made of stone, with a bell tower of the same material.
Inside the church, there were two altars: one in honor of the Kazan Mother of God in the cold chapel, and the other in honor of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker in the warm chapel. In 1903, parishioners built a brick watchman's lodge with an iron roof on the church grounds, and in 1909, a major renovation of the church was carried out.
Before the revolution, the church took care of the order at the graves of the Kologrivov family. The church was surrounded by a fence and had a beautiful fruit garden. During this period, Alexander Petercev donated about four desyatinas of land to the church, located 10 versts from the village. In 1916, Kologrivovo had a training-demonstration workshop and a zemstvo primary school. Before the October Revolution, the priest of the Kazan Church was Vasily Vvedensky, and the psalmist was Mikhail Temnov.
The restoration of the church began in 2001 with funds from Moscow entrepreneur Yaroslav Alexandrovich Peskov. The initiator of the restoration was his mother, Valeria Nikolaevna Peskova, who dedicated this endeavor to the memory of her great-grandfather, Pyotr Ivanovich Konovitsin, a representative of a noble family connected with the Romanovs, Sheremetevs, and Kolychevs, who owned lands in Pasynki and Lokottsy.
On October 14, 2005, on the feast of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, the church in honor of the Kazan Mother of God in the village of Kologrivovo, Novoderevenkovsky district, reopened its doors to parishioners.
