Trinity Church at Gryazi

Trinity Church at Gryazi (April 2013)

The Trinity Church at Gryazi is located close to the Boulevard Ring where the Pokrovsky Gates of the Bely Gorod once stood. The surviving version of the church was built in 1861 according to a plan by the architect Mikhail Bykovsky. The church was eclectic in style with a classical-style façade and originally also featured a large dome and a bell tower. However the church was closed in 1930 and in the 1950s its dome and bell tower were removed when the building was converted into a house of culture. It was returned to the Orthodox Church in 1992 and in 2009 work on restoring the façade was completed. The bell tower and central dome though are yet to be rebuilt.
