A monastery with a long and rich history. Unfortunately, it is now in a dilapidated state and is in dire need of restoration. Now only 3 nuns live in the monastery, their conditions are very difficult, heating is only wood, but they maintain order as best they can, raise chickens and grow roses. Very dramatic. And it’s a shame that no one is helping to preserve such a place.

Quiet place, if in the morning at 11, there are almost no tourists, just an old monastery without museum affairs, dilapidated, chickens, a mongrel, a cat are running around. The river view is good. Much more impressive than the Ferapontovo or Kirillo-Belozersky monastery. Of course, there is no comfort, the toilet is on the street like a toilet, but these are trifles.

An ancient monastery located on the banks of the Sheksninsky reservoir, not far from the town of Kirillov. It is worth to visit there, of which there are only one species. In general, you can go there for the whole day, admire Sheksna, climb Mount Maura and admire incredibly beautiful views and nature from there. The monastery is ancient and once famous for the ascetics of piety, many of their graves have survived! Now the monastery is being revived with difficulty!

Of the three ancient monasteries, located so that all three can be visited in one day, this is the only one functioning, the rest are almost entirely museums. The gate is open from 8:00 to 20:00, so it is convenient to schedule a visit either before the others, or after them. Great history of the place. Now it is being gradually put in order, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Near the monastery is a very inexpensive hotel for pilgrims, you can stay there if necessary.

Small nunnery, with black domes, partially restored. Cozy working temple. Very beautiful, unusual location on the banks of the river. Friendly nuns.
