In the center of the village of Krutoy Maidan in the Vadsky district lies an ensemble of cult architecture, consisting of several church buildings. These churches are surrounded by residential houses adorned with elegant carved woodwork. The Trinity Church and the separate bell tower, built in 1805, showcase features of the architectural style of the second half of the 18th century. It is likely that the construction of the church took many years. According to the "Address Calendar of the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese" from 1904, the stone cold temple in Krutoy Maidan was erected in 1805 in honor of the Holy Trinity. In 1832, a second stone temple appeared in the village, a warm church with the main altar of the Nativity of Christ and two chapels: the right one dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, and the left one to the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Temple.

As noted in the directory "Monuments of History and Culture of the Gorky Region" edited by Professor V.P. Fadeev, published in 1980, "the church is built in the type of 'octagon on a square', but with an unusual predominance of the volume of the octagon, covered with a raised faceted dome. The building is topped with a two-tiered cupola." The bell tower has a powerful base, on which rapidly diminishing tiers rise, creating a dynamic baroque silhouette that seems to dissolve into space.

The ensemble also includes the warm Christmas Church of 1832, executed in the style of late classicism. It featured a central dome and four porticos of the Tuscan order. During the Soviet era, the church was repurposed into a school. A granite stone at the entrance to the former school, installed in honor of the builder of the Krutoy Maidan Church, Priest Luka Petrovich Lebedev, serves as a reminder of the building's affiliation with the group of monuments of cult architecture.
