The history of the village of Gorki dates back more than four centuries. It was granted by Tsar Vasily IV Ivanovich Shuisky "for the siege of Moscow" to the nobleman T. I. Trakhaniotov in the early 17th century, and in 1659 it passed to his grandson Alexander, who built the first church in the village. The wooden church erected in 1679 served for 60 years, after which it fell into disrepair and in 1738 was replaced by a new one, which stood until the beginning of the 19th century. In 1801, the current stone church, surrounded by a stone fence, was built.
In 1938, the Trinity Church in Gorki was closed, but in 1946 it reopened its doors and has not closed since. The classical building of the church has survived to this day in its original form, and the fence with the gates, decorated with luxurious Tuscan columns and pediments, has also been preserved. In 1724, by personal order of Peter I, the village of Gorki was granted to the captain-commander of the fleet N. P. Vilboa, who participated in Peter's wars with the Swedes and in the Persian campaign. At the beginning of the reign of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, N. V. Vilboa was appointed commander of the Kronstadt military port. In 1760, after the death of the old sailor at the age of 82, Gorki was inherited by his son Alexander Nikitich Vilboa. In his youth, he was close to the "young court" of Grand Duke Peter Fedorovich and Grand Duchess Ekaterina Alekseyevna, under whom he held the rank of chamberlain. In 1747, due to court intrigues, A. N. Vilboa was transferred to the army as a colonel. There he rose to the rank of general-in-chief and in May 1762 became a member of the Council of Emperor Peter III. Empress Catherine II, who came to power as a result of a palace coup, appointed A. N. Vilboa to the post of general-feldzeugmeister - chief of artillery of the entire Russian army.
