He had the first wooden church for three hierarchs built here. After his death, the village remained a metropolitan residence. In 1474 Metropolitan Geronti had a new wooden church built for the apostle John . This became dilapidated at the beginning of the 17th century and was replaced by a new wooden church dedicated to the Trinity, which was first mentioned in 1627. Since then, the village has been called Troitskoye-Golenishchewo ( Troiza means Trinity ).
