Holy Trinity Church, Orthodox church in Voronezh, Russia
Holy Trinity Church is an Orthodox sanctuary in Voronezh built with the architectural features typical of Russian religious buildings from the 18th century. The structure displays a traditional layout with a central dome and interior decoration characteristic of Orthodox design.
A wooden church dedicated to the Life-Giving Trinity was first recorded in Borovoe in 1646 in the census book of Voronezh district, which names its priest Afanasy. The church was rebuilt several times until 1792–1794, when residents funded a new stone building that kept the old side chapel of the Presentation of the Mother of God. A chapel to Stephen the Sabaite was added in the 19th century. Closed in the mid-1930s, the church stood abandoned for over fifty years until restoration began in 1990.
