Russian Orthodox Christians believe that Bogolyubovo was founded on the spot where Bogolyubsky saw a
miraculous vision of the
Theotokos, who commanded him to build a church and a monastery on this spot. Subsequently, the
Church of the Intercession on the Nerl was built here. The church has been on
UNESCO
World Heritage List since 1992.
[7]
Bogolyubsky also commissioned the icon of
the apparition of the Theotokos. This icon has been known as the
Bogolubskaya Icon of the Theotokos.
After Bogolyubsky's death, Bogolyubovo was ravaged and ransacked by
Gleb of Ryazan in 1177. In the 1230s, the
Mongols destroyed its fortifications.
In 1960–2006, Bogolyubovo had
urban-type settlement status.[
