The temple is a brick building, plastered and then whitewashed, put on the white stone plinth. The total length of a length of 34 meters, a width of 5 to 7 meters and a height of 12, 8 meters.

Trinity Church is located symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis, thus it is composed of two rows of windows massive quadrangle, equipped with a five-sided apse, as well as unusual dvustolpnoy refectory room .  If you take into account the plan of the temple, the more it resembles a square .  Wedding quadrangular done with rather large and massive five-domed .  On the upper surface of the walls held wide and made from the traditional straight-brick cornices, is a diversified, while they include bands crackers .  Corner components eaves are made of white stone .  Immediately under the eaves are located semicircular quadrangle kokoshniki somewhat cut off from the wall using the thrust of the traditional pattern .  Available at the top of the corners processed graceful beams polukolonok with "beads", and the corners at the bottom of Naugolnykh decorated with pilasters with narrow panels .  Such pilasters used as decorations and in the corners of the room refectory .  The window openings of the lower tier of the church are made rectangular, with rooms and refectory windows of the apse framed in the form of frames, the continuation of which forms directly under the windows of square panels .  All existing window openings are equipped with white stone profiled sills .

Chetverik Trinity Church closed in a closed vault with high-rise boom lift, with the overlap of the apse done by means of a cylindrical vault.

The interior of the church survived only partially and represented paintings of the 19th century; He came to our time and the floor, lined with cast slabs, dating back to the second half of the 19th century, with a pair of plates is quite irrelevant to the early period - namely, the end of the 18th century.

Trinity Church is one of the traditional sites of the provincial architecture, typical of the late 18th century. Despite the fact that the temple was built a long time ago, decoration of the walls, to a greater extent, a characteristic of the traditional style of Old Russian parts. There is an assumption that the builders of the temple tried to repeat the original form is located near Assumption Church.

To date, it remains an unsolved mystery about why the congregation decided to build in his village of the second temple .  It is known that in the construction of Trinity Church attended everything, because what the villagers have spent large sums of money for works .  There is speculation that the former Assumption Church demanded not just repairs and complete replacement of some components .  Also, the number of local residents continue to arrive at a high speed, so the space in the former church was not enough, even on weekdays often exceeded the maximum number of parishioners capacity .  Due to the high cost of restructuring and the amount of work the church had no expediency, because recovery could take up to 10 or even 15 years .  Probably this was the reason to restructure the cold church to without haste and more thoroughly carry out repair work in the former church of the Assumption .
