The Trinity Church is located in the presumed historical center of the village on flat terrain. Currently, the area around it is heavily overgrown with tall grass and trees. A few meters to the west, among the bushes, one can find archaeological remains of the lost bell tower and the corridor connecting it to the church.
The first petition for permission to build a stone church in the village of Voskresenskoye instead of the old wooden church was submitted on March 5, 1794. However, the church construction decree was signed by Bishop Ambrose of Vyatka and Sloboda only on February 27, 1797, for reasons that remain unclear.
Construction was funded by parishioners from 1800 to 1803. On June 14, 1805, Deacon Samuel Romanov informed Bishop Seraphim about the readiness for the consecration of the Kazan-Bogoroditsky chapel in the warm church. That same year, both altars in the warm church were consecrated: the southern in honor of the icon of the Mother of God "Kazan" and the northern in the name of Basil the Great. The architectural style and the time of the church's construction suggest possible involvement of the provincial architect F.M. Roslyakov in the project.
By the beginning of 1813, the plaster finishing of the interior of the cold church with gilded elements was completed. The main Trinity altar in the cold church was consecrated on October 22, 1820. The gilding of the central iconostasis, which cost 7,500 rubles, was mainly funded by parishioners.
In 1829, the church was covered with larch, as the lack of funds forced a temporary abandonment of the iron roof. A separate stone bell tower with a passage to the church was built from late May 1832 to 1835. In 1836, a stone fence with wooden panels and ten trading stalls was erected. Later, according to a report from 1845, the number of stalls increased to eighteen, while in 1895 it decreased to five. Metal roofing on the church and bell tower appeared in the summer of 1852. In 1870, metal grilles were installed in the fence, and floor slabs were laid in the passage from the bell tower to the church.
Among the ancient and revered relics in the church were the icon of the Holy Martyr Blasius, received from the Most Reverend Bartholomew in 1774, the image of "The Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles," and a wooden cross, which were sent as a blessing to the parishioners from the Trinity-Sergius Lavra that same year, as well as church books, the Gospel of 1771, and "Mount Pochaev or News about the Pochaev Miracle-working Icon of the Mother of God." Despite the preservation of the overall architectural appearance, the church has suffered losses: the columned porticos with pediments, the roof over the refectory, and the interior decoration of the refectory have been destroyed. The church is a brick building with lime whitewashing on the outside and plastered walls inside. It is a monument that combines baroque traditions and decorative elements of classicism characteristic of Roslyakov's work.
