  ## History
  
  It was one of the first churches in the area of the drainage basin of the Iset River. A wooden church was raised several times. A wooden two-altars church was built in 1680 but destroyed by fire in 1787. There is no data about the architect and authors of the construction plan of the building. Three years later a new building was built. It also burnt down in 1800. Fire destroyed property and documents of the parish, only part of the archive of the income-expenditure books from 1751 to 1791 survived.
  
  It was decided to build a stone church. In 1801 the foundation of the stone church was laid. On 19 March 1808 one of the side-altars was consecrated in the name of the Venerable Savvatii Solovetsky. The main church was consecrated on 14 July 1823 in honor of the Holy Trinity.
  
  In 1850 in the vault of the belltower was cracked. There was a threat of collapse. The building was rebuilt. During the reconstruction one more side-altar was attached. On 12 December 1854 a new side-altar was consecrated in honor of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. During the period of 1875-1880s the main part of the church was expanded and rebuilt. The construction plan was made by the engineer-technologist Pavel Fedorovich Golyshev. The main church was consecrated on 27 September 1880; and the side-altars - on 15 November 1881 and on 20 February 1886.
