St. Trinitatis wurde auf den Resten des ehemaligen Kaisertores errichtet. Das Kaisertor wurde 1589 vom niederländischen Architekten und Maler Hans de Vries geschaffen und war bis 1660 der Haupteingang in die alte Residenzstadt. Der letzte Rest des alten Stadttores befindet sich in der Kirche am Durchgang zwischen Kirchenschiff und Sakristei. Nach den Plänen des fürstlichen Landbaumeisters Johann Balthasar Lauterbach entstand zwischen 1693 und 1700 auf dem Rest des Stadttores ein beeindruckender Kuppelbau. 1705 wurde dieser Kuppelbau durch Brand zerstört. Zwischen 1716 und 1722 wurde die Trinitatiskirche unter Beibehaltung der älteren Fassadentürme nach Plänen von Hermann Korb neu errichtet. Die St. Trinitatiskirche zählt zu den wenigen Beispielen von Barockkirchen in Norddeutschland.
