Holy Trinity Church in Troitsa (Danilovsky District)

Фото 1
In the village of Troitsa stands the stone church of the Holy Trinity with chapels of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and St. Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky. It was built in 1811 on the site of a wooden church that was destroyed by fire in 1805. The funds for the construction were provided by a peasant from the village of Tyulyakhina, Ivan Grigoryevich Pushkov, who owned a samovar factory in Danilov. A classical five-tiered iconostasis with fine carvings was purchased for the church from one of the Moscow churches. To this day, the upper carved part of the iconostasis, painted in brown-red, has been preserved. Interestingly, the painting in the temple echoes the carved elements of the iconostasis, creating a sense of its continuation.

The Holy Trinity Church has five domes, a refectory, and a tiered bell tower that adjoins the main building from the west, forming a single entity with it. The church has three entrances: from the north, south, and west. The decoration features decorative pilasters, and the first tier of the bell tower is adorned with rustication and small decorative elements. On the eastern side, there is a semi-circular apse, and on the northern and southern sides, there are four-columned porticoes. The windows are without frames, featuring wrought iron grilles. In 1961, the church was closed and used as a hay storage. Surrounding it is an active cemetery, where the grave of A.A. Treskalov has been preserved.

The church fence has also been preserved, featuring high gates adorned with two pairs of columns topped with a dome.
