History
The initiator of the construction of a new stone Church in the Trinity-Lykov was Nikolai Alexandrovich Buturlin, the son of the former owner of the village, Catherine Pavlovna Buturlina. In 1843, he submitted a petition to the Metropolitan of Moscow Filaret (Drozdov).

Original drawings of the temple have not survived, but it is known that the estimate for the construction of the temple was signed by Moscow architect Nikolai Ilyich Kozlovsky. The construction of the temple took longer than originally expected. The Northern chapel of the great Martyr Catherine was consecrated in 1851, the southern chapel of St. Nicholas on January 15, 1856. The chapels of the temple were consecrated in honor of the heavenly patrons Buturlin. It is known that at the time of the inventory of property in 1858, the main assumption throne was not yet consecrated.

In October 1989, the Church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church, after which its restoration began. On March 31, 1990, it was again consecrated by the small priest. On October 30, 2011, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and all Russia made the great consecration of the Church. In 2013, the Church is a metochion of the Pokrovsky Stavropigialny women's monastery of the intercession Outpost.
