The Trinity-Mikhailovsky Church in the village of Prozorovo was built in 1810. The main altar was consecrated in honor of the Holy Life-Giving Trinity

The temple is called a masterpiece of Russian classical architecture. Its decoration and painting were carried out by talented artists under the guidance of Ivan Shlyakhtenkov, a graduate of the St. Petersburg Imperial Academy of Arts. In 1876, the refectory was expanded, as the church stopped accommodating everyone. In 1891, a brick bell tower and a fence were built. The high temple part consists of an octagonal lantern placed on a cube, going back in its forms to the middle of the XVIII century. In the first years after the October Revolution, church services continued. But in the 1930s and 40s, the church fences were dismantled brick by brick, and in the mid-1950s, the Church of the Nativity was demolished. A flour, grain warehouse and a bakery were set up in the Trinity-Mikhailovsky Church.

In 1999, the Trinity-Mikhailovsky Church was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church. In 2000, Archpriest Anatoly Denisov was appointed rector here. Thanks to his efforts, the temple was put in order, repaired, the surrounding area was cleaned, and by the bicentennial anniversary of the temple, celebrated on November 21, 2010, its painting was completed.

Church services are held regularly. There is a Sunday school at the church.
