The Trinity Church was built by the local Old Believers and it is sometimes called the “Red Church”, as it is made of red brick. Now the Trinity Church is turned into a museum.

There are crystal glass from Gus-Khrustalnyi, needle work and painted lacquer boxes from Mstiora inside the Trinity Church.
