The village of Kurchany has long served as an important crossroads, uniting the Kazan, Nolin-Gazov, and Izhevsk routes. Until 1780, it was the main settlement in the area. Founded in 1663, the village quickly acquired a wooden church, which eventually fell into disrepair. In 1699, priest Ioann Makaryev, along with parishioners including church elder Prokhor Gorodilov and lay elder Vasily Emelyanov, submitted a petition for the construction of a new church. Kazan Metropolitan Tikhon granted permission for the erection of a stone temple on October 18, 1699.

Construction began around 1760. According to the 1763 census, the village had 155 souls. Major work was completed by 1773. Preparatory work was done in winter, while construction took place in summer. Stonemasons, whose names have not survived, decorated the church as they saw fit. Bricks were carried by hand, and the mortar was strengthened with eggs. In the cold church, the altar was consecrated in honor of the Holy Trinity, while in the warm one, in honor of the Epiphany and the Nativity of the Virgin Mary.

In 1887, the Trinity Church was described as a square building with an octagonal second tier and a blind vault. The temple was 17 fathoms high, with a length and width of 6 fathoms each. The warm church was rebuilt in 1838 and 1866. Its dimensions were 12 fathoms in length, 6 in width, and 5.5 in height. The walls were decorated with brick elements, and the roof had an eight-pitched shape. The bell tower, built in 1761, was freestanding.

The church featured a wide octagon, giving it a tower-like appearance. The bell tower was separate, and the bells were cast in the city of Slobodsk. The largest bell weighed 250 poods. Initially, the temple was topped with a dome called "kurma," which was later remodeled. The church underwent repairs and reconstructions in 1828, 1838, and from 1864 to 1871. The parish consisted of 49 settlements, home to over 8,700 people.

Memories of the church were left by A. V. Krasnoperov and V. D. Molchanov, whose childhood was spent in the 1930s. The church was made of white stone with beautiful crosses. The ringing of the bells was described as "raspberry" and "silver." There was a "tent" for visitors in the church, and the walls were painted in bright colors. The village was home to priests from the Vasnetsov family, and by the end of the 19th century, a church school opened.

After the revolution, the fate of the church changed. In 1935, the village became a district center, which accelerated the destruction of the temple. The church was closed and repurposed as a school. The bells were thrown down, and the building was used as a dormitory. In the pre-war years, the church began to be dismantled, but due to the strong mortar, this proved labor-intensive. The bell tower was used as a workshop and store.

In 1997, a severe storm damaged the bell tower. Despite its status as an architectural monument, restoration was not carried out for a long time. In the early 2000s, an entrepreneur from Urzhum decided to sponsor the repairs. However, the local administration did not support the initiative, and the work dragged on.

In 2003, restoration began thanks to the support of benefactor Vladimir Kultychev. The bell tower was cleaned, but the spire was dismantled, altering its appearance. Nevertheless, the bell tower remains visible from afar. It is unique in that it has two facades and is a copy of the bell tower of the cathedral in Vyatka, which was destroyed in 1935. The preservation of the bell tower increases its value as a rare architectural monument.
