Holy Trinity Church

Construction of one of Prymorsk's main landmarks began in 1814, when, by order of Count V. Orlov-Denisov, the first stone of the Holy Trinity Church was laid. The building was erected in the style of late Classicism. Its plan repeats the shape of a cross. The walls are crowned with pediments on three sides. A bell tower was added to the fourth wall. The first church service was held here in 1838.

In the 30s, the church had to be closed. To prevent the paintings from deteriorating, they were covered with a thick layer of plaster. At the same time, the bell tower was destroyed. The church was turned into a warehouse.
