Temple of the Trinity of Life-Giving Original

The Church of the Trinity of Life Original in Kursk was built on the site of the previously existing men's Trinity Monastery, founded by Boris Godunov in 1597. When the monastery was destroyed and burned down by the Lithuanians, only a small wooden monastery church was restored in its place. The modern appearance of the temple has much in common with it, although it was built much later in stone. The earliest parts of the temple of the Trinity of Life-Giving date from 1733-40 years. The north and south sides were built in the twentieth century.

The temple is made in accordance with the traditions of Russian architecture. It is a brick two-storey one-domed temple. Outside the temple is decorated very modestly. Decorative carving framed only windows in the dome drum. The thrones are dedicated to the Holy Trinity, St. Ambrose of Optina and the noble princes Boris and Gleb. On the first floor there is a winter temple, on the second - summer. In the summer temple are the thrones of the Holy Spirit and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

At the temple of the Trinity of Life, there is an icon painting school in the name of the Monk Andrei Rublev.
