The Trinity Church was built in 1851 with funds from the local manufacturers Morgunov and Shcherbakov. Between 1875 and 1878 it was expanded to a design by V. O. Grudzin and became a three-altar church. In the 1930s the church was closed, and its bell tower and most of the refectory with two side chapels were demolished. It was reopened and consecrated in 1947.
The church's name comes from its main altar, dedicated to the Holy Trinity; two side chapels honour Sergius of Radonezh and the Entry of the Theotokos into the Temple. Since 1993 a Sunday school has operated here, and since May 1999 a charity canteen has served hot meals to more than 80 people daily. From October 2000 the parish has published the monthly newspaper "Doroga k khramu".
