The village of Grishovo, part of the Kurakinskaya rural administration of the Babyninsky district, is located on the Berezuy River. This place was once the ancient city of Lyudimesk (Berezuevsk), which existed from the 12th to the 17th centuries and was founded by the Vyatichs. In 1407, Lyudimesk, along with Kozelsk and Seretinsk, was mentioned as the property of Ivan Andreyevich Mozhaysky, the grandson of Dmitry Donskoy. In 1504, Lyudimesk became part of the possessions of the Kaluga prince Simeon Ivanovich.

The first wooden church in this place was built in 1662. In the "Descriptions and Alphabets to the Kaluga Atlas" of 1782, it is mentioned: "Peremyshl district. The pogost of Lyudemski and the scribal church land of the clergy. No houses. No inhabitants. On the right bank of the Big Berezuy River, a wooden church of the Uncreated Image of the Savior..." In 1769, landowner Shcherbachev erected a stone church in honor of Saint Nicholas on its site. The church was single-domed, with a three-part apse, the main part being a square transitioning to an octagon. To the west, it was adjoined by a refectory with a bell tower. The church had three altars: the main one in the name of Saint Nicholas, the southern one in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Odigitria," and the northern one in honor of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos. The parish included the village of Grishovo and the villages of Sychevo, Volkonskoye, Mashkino, Matovo, Lunino, Bakhtinsk, Timofeyevskoye, Kurochkin, Myachkovo, Staroselye, Plyuskovo, and Gorodnikovo.

After the revolution, in 1932, the church was closed and used by the local collective farm for various needs. By 1962, the building had fallen into disrepair and has been abandoned since then. Currently, the bell tower is completely destroyed, the vaults in the refectory have collapsed, and the western wall is ruined.
