Trinity Church in Nikitniki
Trinity Church in Nikitniki, Eastern Orthodox church in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia
The Trinity Church stands with five decorative domes and features intricate brick patterns, white stone ornaments, and elaborate window frames on its facades.
Built between 1628 and 1651 by merchant Grigory Nikitnikov, the church replaced a wooden structure that burned down in a major fire in 1626.
The interior walls display multiple religious frescoes based on Dutch Bible engravings, created by masters from the Kremlin Armory Chamber in the 17th century.
The church operates as a branch of the State Historical Museum since 1934, preserving religious art and architectural elements from medieval Moscow.
Simon Ushakov painted the Tree of Russian Rulers icon specifically for this church, which now resides in the Tretyakov Gallery collection.
