The Trinity Monastery, which was founded on the orders of Boris Godunov in 1597, once stood where the Trinity Church now stands. The church itself dates from 1742 and comprises a two-storey octagon-on-cube building with an attached bell tower. The monastery of which it was a part was dissolved in 1764. In 1940 the church was closed and used as a museum. It was returned to the Orthodox Church in the 1990s.
