In the early 21st century, a chapel was established, likely through the efforts of the Nikolai-Shartomsky Monastery and its parishioners. Until 1765, the site of the cemetery was home to the Shuya-Trinity Men's Monastery, whose history is linked to notable Russian families. The monastery housed church and historical relics from the 15th to 18th centuries. It was managed by archimandrites, with a total of thirteen names known, but it was subordinate to the Nikolai-Shartomsky Monastery. After its closure, the monastery was transformed into a parish church, and a city cemetery was established on its grounds. Some items from the archimandrite's service were transferred to the Suzdal Spaso-Evfimiev Monastery, while other sources indicate they went to one of the Arzamas monasteries.

Previously, under the monastery church, there was a burial vault for the Kashintsev noble family, who were benefactors of the monastery and owners of the neighboring village of Yurchakovo. An ancient written Gospel from 1546 was kept in the church's sacristy. The first stone church was built in 1692. The Trinity Church with a tented bell tower, erected by Stepan and Alexey Posylins in 1829 and painted by the famous artist Medvedev, was destroyed in the 1930s.

The church housed renowned icons of the Kazan Mother of God and the Savior, painted by Shuya iconographers. The cemetery gates with a partially lost fence, built in 1871 with funds from merchant of the 1st guild A.V. Shchekoldin, have survived.

An annual Trinity fair was held at the Trinity Church in honor of the former monastery's feast day. On the Day of the Spirit, a procession was organized every year from the Resurrection Cathedral to the Trinity Church.
