English: The village of Krutets, located 16 kilometers southeast of the city of Konakovo, has long been known as the village of Negodyaevo, Danilovskaya volost, Korchevsky district. In the first half of the 17th century, it was the patrimony of Orshin Savvatievsky monastery.

In 1719, a wooden church was built here (instead of the previous one) in the name of Nicholas the Wonderworker with the chapel of Sergius of Radonezh.

A stone three-altar church has survived to this day, built according to the charter of the temple of 1822 with the blessing of the Right Reverend Jonah, with church funds, with the help of parishioners. The project (plan with a facade) for the construction of the temple was redone by the provincial architect Legrand. During the construction, which was carried out until 1828, a wooden church functioned, by that time dilapidated, but covered with a timber in 1817. Subsequently, in 1840 it was abolished "due to dilapidation", and on August 1, 1841 it burned down in a fire.

In 1829, the right side-altar of the refectory was consecrated - in the name of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, a year later - another side-altar in the name of Saint Sergius of Radonezh, the Wonderworker, they were consecrated by the archpriest of the city of Korcheva, John Alekseev Khokhlov. The main altar - in the cold church - in the name of the Life-Giving Trinity with the blessing of Archbishop Gregory was consecrated in 1841 by the Korchev archpriest Theodor Yakovlev Ershov.

The oil painting of the temple was made in 1859, and the refectory - in 1860. Soon a stone fence appeared (instead of the previous one, made of spruce wood) with a gate, the ruins of which can be seen even now. The parish, as of the second half of the 19th century, consisted of 310 households in the village of Negodyaevo and the villages of Tarlakovo, Ruchyi, Peigne - peasants of the Department of the Chamber of State Property.

In the mid-1910s, permission was obtained to arrange new iconostases in the side-altars, to repair the floors (in the main church, arrange a tiled floor, in the side-altars - wooden), to repair the ovens and to wash the wall paintings and icons throughout the church. The work was carried out at the expense and current income of the church, on special donations of parishioners and individuals, personal donations of the church elder, and were performed by the craftsmen "in good faith and in the best possible way" by 1916.

It is known that the church operated until 1937. Archpriest Vasily Andreevich Lebedev, who was arrested in November of the same year, served in the church.

Today Trinity Church is an architectural monument of the first half of the 19th century, built in the provincial Empire style. Its composition includes: the temple itself (which looks like a high illuminated rotunda on a quadrangle) with an apse, a refectory with side-chapels and a three-tiered bell tower, crowned with a spire, built by the dependents of the parishioners in 1828.
