Church of St. Trinity, was modeled on French art, closes the axial composition of the old market square in Tykocin, was created in the mid-18th century.

The colors of the temple are characteristic of the region - with light yellow clay plaster and a red roof.The bells from the church towers from 1664 were stolen by the Russians in 1915. The current bells were funded by parishioners in 1930. The organ is one of the most valuable instruments in Poland.Church of St. The Holy Trinity Church has a very well-preserved interior. The wall polychromes were made by Sebastian Eckstein. At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, they were painted over, and in 1910 they were brought to light again.The altars and all the interior furnishings were built around 1750. The rich Baroque-Rococo, gilded main altar and 6 paintings from the altars in the side aisles were painted by the Polish Baroque painter Szymon Czechowicz, the portraits of the Branicki spouses (founders of the church), Jan Klemens and Izabela née Poniatowski, come from their court studio of Sylwester Mirys.
