Trinity Church: a Former Incubator on the Churchyard

Architectural Monuments • Temples and places of worship • Cathedrals and churches • Other places

The Trinity Church, dating from 1783, rises above the Volga in the northwestern part of Tutaev. A one-story stone church with a superstructure above the refectory was built instead of a rural wooden church. The three thrones Trinity Church has one dome above the sloping roof. The belfry, decorated on four sides by the entrance arches, is in the western part of the temple. The bells, cast in Holland and brought here in the XVII century, used to ring here.

There was a cemetery near the Trinity Church, for which it is still called Church of the Trinity on the Graveyard. Earlier this temple was rich in icons and its walls were painted with frescoes. It was closed in the 30s. An incubator was placed in the church, which changed the humidity and temperature in the building, because of which the frescoes were lost. Only a small crypt of the family of the notary Maslok has been preserved in the church. Today services are held only in the winter part of the church and in the rest of the church the frescoes are being restored.
