The temple is old, historical, with a post-revolutionary history, starting in 1924. It's beautiful inside, modest.
But unfortunately, a small barn in the courtyard is all covered with black, stripped roofing material and the boards stick out, but still this is the face of the ROC MP, the face of Russia abroad, so anyone who is not indifferent to temples can help make a decent-looking barn, as well as an inner courtyard, including for joint conversations and tea parties on holidays or Sundays.
Serbian Patriarchs Dimitri and Barnabas came to the Trinity Church to serve, and King Alexander, Queen Mary, members of the royal family, Serbian ministers and foreign diplomats came to pray.
In 1929, the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army in Crimea, General Wrangel, who died a year earlier in Brussels, was reburied in the church. The battle banners of Napoleon and the Ottoman army, captured by the Russian army, were kept in the church until 1944.
In April 1945, the clergy and the community of the church were accepted into communion with the Moscow Patriarchate and became subordinate to it.
Russian Russian Orthodox Church received the status of a compound of the Russian Orthodox Church in Belgrade in 1946 and was part of the Stavropol deanery of Russian Orthodox parishes on the territory of Yugoslavia. Russian Russian Orthodox Deanery was abolished in 1954 by the decision of the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church, and all the churches included in it, except the Trinity Church in Belgrade and the Iver Chapel attached to it in the Russian Cemetery, were transferred to the jurisdiction of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
In 1957, Patriarch Alexy I of Moscow and All Russia visited the compound and celebrated the liturgy in the church.
The temple was seriously damaged as a result of a missile attack in April 1999 on a television complex, during the bombing of Yugoslavia by the NATO bloc. In 2000, its restoration began.
On March 25, 2007, Metropolitan Kirill consecrated the restored church (Gundyaev).
On October 4, 2013, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow visited the church, who arrived at the Serbian Orthodox Church to participate in the celebrations on the occasion of the 1700th anniversary of the Edict of Milan.
A small, very cozy church, in which the passage of time is very well felt. The gravestone of Wrangel, for which people usually come here, is immediately to the right of the entrance.
The all-night vigil is 1.3 hours long. The liturgy is also 2 hours, a lot of time from it is a sermon in Serbian. The temple is more than 100 years old and it has never been closed
You can't take pictures, you can't do anything, there's not enough space

The Russian Orthodox parish. Very kind people. The service is held in the Slavic language. The temple, of course, requires attention (repair). But the parish lives on. It's a joy.
