Ivan the Terrible was baptised here in Holy Trinity monastery in 1530-ies.
In 1608-1610, the Holy Trinity Monastery survived sixteen-month siege of the Polish-Lithuanian invaders.
During a riot of musketeers, Peter I was hiding himself behind the walls of the monastery, which was the royal fortress at that time.
In 1744 the Empress Elizabeth awarded the monastary with the honorary title of Lavra, which emphasized the leading role of the monastery among other cathedrals.
