Before the construction of churches in the 18th century, the village was a royal palace and was called Pochinki, then it passed to the Vladimir Nativity Monastery. The residents of the surrounding area were engaged in beaver hunting (bobroviki) and supplying skins for fur. Pochinki was assigned to the Arbuzovsky parish, but during the flood, due to the overflow of the Klyazma River, the parish was cut off from its church and "did not have time for singing", and the peasants complained to the church authorities "many of us die without any church needs". The existing functioning stone Trinity Church was built in 1832 to replace the wooden Dmitrievskaya (1714) and the warm Trinity (1755). In their honor, the large stone church has chapels, the third chapel of St. Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky. Its existence is justified by the significant contribution of the Archimandrite of the Nativity Monastery Blagolepa, who, according to legend, donated an iconostasis and an icon of the Holy Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky to the old wooden church. This icon was considered miraculous. The bell tower was completed in 1839 along with the fence.
