Until the second half of the 17th century, Ichalki was a Mordvin settlement, and then it became Russian. The lands of Ichalki passed to the Morozov boyars, who heavily exploited the local Mordvin population. The Mordvins, taking their belongings and livestock, fled to the southwest. To gather the remaining harvests, the Morozovs sought help from the monks of the Yagodinsky Monastery. From their estates, they brought Russian peasants, settling them along the banks of the P'yana River. By the order of the Morozovs, the peasants built a church on the high bank of the P'yana in honor of the Holy Trinity. The village began to be called 'Troitsky,' and in the documents of that time, it was referred to as 'Troitskoe, Ichalki.'

According to the order of the Department for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Heritage of Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod Region dated April 24, 2000, the rural Christ the Savior Church was recognized as an object of historical and cultural heritage. The church dates back to 1799. However, order 5-OD lost its force on October 20, 2014, according to order No. 159.

According to the 'Address Calendar of the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese' for 1904, at the beginning of the 20th century, there were two wooden churches in the village, and the construction of a stone church was underway. To this day, the bell tower built with the funds of A.B. Neidgart has been preserved. The place where the church was supposed to be is now occupied by the Shatki, Perevoz highway.
