The first temple was the church, consecrated in the name of the Great Martyr George. It is known that in the early 17th century in the square there was a temple of Holy Mother of God Icon with Michael Malein chapels and Great Martyr George. The church stood before the Time of Troubles, and then he was burned.

After the church was lost in its place was built shopping stalls, although the events did not occur as expected. During this period, the city came the elder Barlaam, who found it necessary to build a large Uglich Kazan Church. Following the decision in 1638, he asked permission to Mikhail Fedorovich and, after a short period of time, it gets.

After some time, the city has built a new wooden church. As for the seats, in addition to the main Kazan throne, were lined up three more Venerable Eudoxia, martyr George and the man of God Alexia - all thrones, dedicated to the memory of the former royal family and the church. The found chronicles reported that the dedication of altars are the saints of the same name not only king, but also his wife and son. We can assume that this fact is caused not only an expression of the orthodox sense, but also the elder Barlaam special closeness to the royal family.

The existence of the new church did not last very long. At the end of 1641 Varlaam died, and three years after his death, the church burned down.

The new temple caught fire in 1793, when it burned down again, along with the top floor, a bell tower. Restoration was carried out slowly, with the bell tower is completely dismantled. In place of the old built a new bell tower, built between 1807 and 1814 honey for years, only in the classical style. The church literally merged with the new bell tower in a single architectural ensemble. Three tiers of the belfry were decorated using columns, graceful arched doorways and gables. The wedding was realized in the form of a spire, but later was added and the cupola.
