Kadrina region was probably settled in the 5th-8th century and it belonged to the ancient Repeli parish. The German Order conquered the place in 1219, the Danes in 1220. New church parish Torvestavere, later Tristfer, was created by the Danish power. In 1231 the local congregation was founded. The present church dates back to the 15th century. St.Catherine became the patron saint of our congregation and that is where the name "Kadrina" has come from.
In 1870 the Tallinn-St.Petersburg railway was completed which gave an important impulse to the development of Kadrina. At first railway was the center of the village.
