In a quiet corner of the forest, where the source of the Drezna River is located, there is a wonderful Trinity Church and a complex of other buildings. The history of the appearance of the Trinity Church is connected with a settlement called the Trinity-Chizhsky Pogost, which until 1917 was located in Bogorodsky district. Very quiet and picturesque place!
The Trinity-Chizhi churchyard is located on the right bank of the Drezna River among the swamps and forests of the Meshchera Lowland, 10 km southwest of Pavlovsky Posad. At different times, the churchyard was called Chizhi, Troitse-Chizhsky churchyard, Troitsky churchyard "that in Chizhi". The name is certainly not related to the abundance of birds of this species in this area. "Chizhi" is a Russified Finno-Ugric word "Kizhi", which means "game". Since ancient times, the churchyard was the center of the district, where the ancient population, belonging to the Finno-Ugric tribe of Merya, who inhabited these places at that time, gathered for pagan ceremonies - games. With the adoption of Christianity, the first wooden church was built in the churchyard to replace the idols no later than the 16th century.
The very first documentary mention of the Trinity Church dates back to the first half of the 17th century. In 1739, the wooden church on the churchyard was replaced by a stone Trinity Church, a modest example of provincial religious architecture. In 1789, it was renovated under the widowed general E.A. Leontyeva. In the first quarter of the 19th century, the bell tower that still stands today was added to the church, and in 1888-1889, a northern aisle in honor of St. Sergius of Radonezh was added according to the design of the architect P.G. Egorov.
There is a well with water in the tract.
The famous anomalous zone is also located here.
