Holy Trinity Church in Konkovo, Orthodox church on Profsoyuznaya Street, Moscow, Russia
Holy Trinity Church in Konkovo is a church building on Profsoyuznaya Street in Moscow that features a bell tower and displays artistic details in Baroque and Naryshkin Baroque styles. The structure combines various architectural elements that shape both its external appearance and internal room layout.
The building was constructed in 1694 and ranks among Moscow's older religious structures. Following a period of neglect in the 20th century, it later received status as a federally protected cultural heritage site in Russia.
The church's name changed over time: it was originally dedicated to St. Sergius of Radonezh, and only after its return to liturgical use did it receive the dedication to the Holy Trinity. Its northeast-facing altar, rather than the traditional east, points toward the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, recalling the former patron. Since April 2021 it has housed a representation of the Metropolis of Chișinău and All Moldova.
The church stands at Profsoyuznaya Street 116a, between the Konkovo and Belyayevo metro stations. Services are held daily: Matins and Liturgy at 8:00, and on Sundays and feast days Liturgy at 7:00 and 9:00, with an all-night vigil at 17:00 the evening before.
The church's altar end faces northeast rather than the customary east, aligned toward the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius in Sergiyev Posad, a reminder of its original patron saint. The building also had no bell tower at first: the bells hung directly on the western wall until a masonry tower was added after 1813.
