Trinity Church in Ivanovo is located in the historical center of the city. Near the Uvod River, a small Intercession Mountain rises above Lenin Avenue. The Trinity Church was built there in 2000. In the 17th and 19th centuries there was a wooden Intercession monastery here. After the construction of the stone Trinity Church there, the monastery was also called Trinity, but it has not survived to this day.
Near the Intercession Monastery, on the bank of the river Uvod, there was a village of Ivanovo. It was owned by the Princes of Cherkasy. They received these lands as an inheritance in the middle of the 16th century from Tsar Ivan the Terrible. The village of Ivanovo was first mentioned in the chronicle in 1608. In the 19th century, the village of Voznesensky Posad appeared nearby. In 1871, they merged into a single city called Ivanovo-Voznesensk. In 1932, the city was renamed Ivanovo.
If you look at the photos of the early 20th century, the center of Ivanovo had a different layout. The Intercession Cathedral and the Trinity Cathedral were located on the site where the Ivanovo Drama Theater was built in 1933. For its construction, as well as in order to pave Lenin Avenue in this place, all the churches and the monastery were destroyed in 1931. But since the city of Ivanovo is listed among the cities of the Golden Ring, the city authorities decided in 2000 to restore one of the churches.
The Trinity Church in Ivanovo was built as an exact copy of the Cathedral of the Life-Giving Trinity in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, where the relics of St. Sergius of Radonezh are kept. The church was built on the hillside in the Old Russian style. The temples of the Intercession Monastery looked different.
