Church of the Holy Trinity in Kinobola

Фото 1
In 1762, the dilapidated wooden Trinity church in the village was dismantled, and with the permission of the Suzdal bishop Gennady, the parishioners built a new wooden church dedicated to the same saint, which stood until 1800. In 1793, the local priest and parishioners appealed to Bishop Viktor for permission to construct a stone church in honor of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity, with chapels dedicated to Saint Nicholas and Saint Sergius of Radonezh. After receiving permission, they laid the foundation for the stone church, which was completed in 1800. In the same year, the chapel in honor of Sergius of Radonezh was consecrated, while the altars of the Trinity and Nicholas were consecrated in 1807.

In the 1820s, the parishioners built a warm refectory with an altar in honor of the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem and a stone bell tower, replacing the old wooden one. In 1861, the church and bell tower were surrounded by a stone fence. The church housed an ancient altar cross with relics of saints: Great Martyr Panteleimon, Great Martyr Barbara, and Archdeacon Stephen. The parish of the village of Kinobola and the village of Danilovsky included the parish of the village of Kumina.

According to the memories of the locals, the church, located in the center of the village by the pond, was used as a grain storage facility. A threshing floor was arranged in front for drying and cleaning grain. The building had two halls with religious-themed paintings on the ceilings. Two entrances led from the side of the tall bell tower and from the room under the small bell tower. There were two round turrets on the outside corners of the church. Behind the small bell tower, there were more than five burials of clergymen, and the area was overgrown. Between 1950 and 1953, attempts were made to demolish the bell tower to use the bricks for collective farm needs. This was achieved after several attempts using tractors and cables, resulting in the collapse of the two upper tiers. However, the monolith of red brick resisted for a long time, as the masonry was very strong.

By 1962, the church was almost completely destroyed: the upper part of the square, the altar, the refectory, and the bell tower were dismantled.
