Farther afield
4 km north-west of Palekh is the village of
Krasnoye, in which the Holy Znamenskaya Church was built in 1804,
one of the few in the area that did not close after the revolution.
The exact date of the foundation of Palekh is
unknown, according to historians' assumptions, it is possible to
date the emergence of a settlement about the 9th century. The first
documented mention refers to the XVII century.
It is believed
that the founders of the settlement, who originally lived here - are
the Meryans or another Finno-Ugric tribe. According to one of the
versions, the name Palekh comes from the hydronym Paleksha (now in a
diminutive form: “Palerna”), that is, on behalf of the river flowing
here, from the Finno-Ugric word of the chronicle tribe Merya.
According to historians, Palekh, like other nearby villages, was
owned by the Russian princes Paletsky (Palitsky) in the 14th and
15th centuries. Palekh was the center of the specific Paletsky
principality, as one of the frontiers in Starodubsky principality.
According to the Scribal Book of the Vladimir District of
Bogolyubovo Mill of 1628–1630, one third of the village of Palekh is
listed in the birthplace of Governor Ivan Buturlin and his children:
Ivan Buturlin was given the estate “for the Moscow siege seat
royal”. Up to 1861, part of the villagers were serfs of the nobles
of Buturlins.
Since olden times in Palekh (at the cemetery)
there was a wooden Ilinsky church (it dates back to the 17th
century); in its place, in 1790, a single altar stone church was
erected in the name of the holy prophet Elijah. In 1762–1774, in the
center of the village, at the expense of the parishioners, a new
stone Holy Cross Church was built, painted inside and richly
decorated by Palekh masters.
