The Holy Trinity Church in the village of Murom was built in the second half of the 19th century but was partially destroyed during World War II. In the early 2000s, it was restored and is now protected by the state as an architectural monument from the early 19th century.
The first mention of the village of Murom dates back to 1667, when it was founded by settlers from the city of Murom. In 1810, a wooden church was built in the village in honor of Saint Nicholas. In 1870, a church school was opened, followed by a zemstvo school. In 1874, a stone Trinity church was built, which is still in operation today. It has three chapels: the central one dedicated to the Life-Giving Trinity, the southern one in honor of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos, and the northern one in the name of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker. Before the revolution, five people served in the church: two priests, two psalmists, and one deacon.
In the 1930s, the church was closed and partially destroyed. Its premises were used as a grain storage. During the war, the apse and dome were damaged. The church was reopened for services in the mid-1940s.
By 2012, the restoration and painting of the church were completed. On July 29, 2012, Metropolitan John of Belgorod and Stary Oskol consecrated the restored church.
