The Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in Vyritsa was built in the early 20th century. The village, founded in 1910, was called "Prince's Valley" in pre-revolutionary times due to its proximity to the estate of Prince Peter Wittgenstein.

After the village was established, local residents initiated the construction of a church. The clergy supported this idea, and preparations for the construction began. First, land needed to be acquired, and a representative of the princely family helped by significantly lowering the price of the plot. The remaining funds were collected by future parishioners, and after 12 months, the church was consecrated in 1913, the year of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty.

The church's design was developed by renowned architects of the time, Vladimir Petrovich Apyskov and Mikhail Vitoldovich Krasovsky. The wooden church, built in the neo-Russian style, became one of the most beautiful in Russia. The tented church with intricate carvings features a partially pyramidal roof topped with an onion dome.

Since 1930, the Kazan Church was led by the famous elder and ascetic hieroschemamonk Seraphim (in the world, Vasily Muravyov). Before his tonsure, he was a wealthy merchant with business abroad, which could have ensured him a comfortable life in emigration. However, Vasily Muravyov chose the spiritual path and became renowned for his pious and ascetic life. People from all corners of the Orthodox world came to him for spiritual advice.

The elder passed away in 1949, and in 2000, he was canonized. A chapel was built over his grave, and since then, the Kazan Church in Vyritsa and the nearby spring have become pilgrimage sites for numerous admirers of the holy elder.
