In 1910, the Moscow provincial leader of the nobility, Alexander Dmitrievich Samarin, began construction of the Trinity Church in memory of his late wife, Vera Mamontova, the daughter of Savva Ivanovich Mamontov, a famous representative of the Russian merchant class and patron of the arts in the second half of the 19th century. The project was carried out by the architect Vasily Nikolaevich Bashkirov in the style of the 17th century church architecture. Construction lasted from 1910 to 1914. Many members of the Abramtsevo circle, created by Savva Ivanovich and Elizaveta Grigoryevna Mamontov, took part in the decoration of the Trinity Church. The church was decorated with majolica tiles made in the Abramtsevo pottery workshop based on sketches by M. Vrubel. The interior decoration of the church - the iconostasis, icon cases, church utensils, etc. - was made in the Abramtsevo carpentry workshop, which was created in 1876. The ornamental work inside the Trinity Church was made according to the sketches of Andrei Savvich Mamontov, who died in July 1891, and was handed over by the Mamontov family.
