In 1844, a cold wooden church on a stone foundation was built in the village thanks to the efforts of the parishioners, dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The building included a wooden bell tower and a second altar in the name of Archangel Michael, located under a wooden chapel in the center of the church, and could accommodate up to 800 people. The church was consecrated in 1852, although some sources indicate 1851. The clergy consisted of a priest and a deacon who lived in separate houses, as well as a psalmist who rented an apartment. In 1875, a mixed zemstvo school opened, although there are reports that this occurred in 1871. The church had a parish guardianship and a small library. In 1891, a women's parish school began operating.

During the Soviet era, Uzensk Fortress was an inconspicuous village of the Kurilovsky village council and was part of the collective farms of a larger neighbor. By the time of the revolution, the Trinity Church, the clergy houses, and the parish school had fallen into disrepair, were closed, and later destroyed.
