A few miles from one of our cottages are Volotskii Joseph Convent (Joseph Volokolamsky Assumption Monastery - Orthodox Christian, male coenobitic monastery in the Moscow region of Russia. Located 16 km north-east of Volokolamsk, near the village of Teryaev.).
the weekend at last We have been there.
As a simple man in the street I want to say - what is the most stylish monastery, which I saw. Not the most beautiful, and it is stylish.
The wall consists of 7 towers
Before entering establish some sort of memorial, perhaps, the founder of the monastery - Joseph Volotskii.
monastery stands on a picturesque lake, a meadow in front of the lake grazing cows))
a toilet in front of the village that is located opposite the monastery, graze Brides and their friends. Smoke, drink, and then wear the veil and go into the abbey church ...
Gate Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul (1679)
I love these things)
Tower ramparts amazingly beautiful. "Each of the seven towers (of Peter, Staritskaya, Germanova, Blacksmith, Nameless, Nicholas and Resurrection) differs lush, his own and almost decorative treatment of brick, which, striking elegance, delicate , and magnificence, is in conflict with their internal structure and purpose. "
Assumption Cathedral.
Founded in 1688, finished and consecrated in 1696
ramparts. Again - very beautiful and stylish.
five-domed Church of the Epiphany on the refectory
15 minutes called)) Powerful ringer.
monastery was founded in 1479
on the monastery grounds large garden, kitchen garden and a huge rose garden.
Here that I am still surprised, since this is the brick roofs on the towers ... Usually they plank and very simple - but here each - a work of art.
and walls of the monastery Contrary to the usual, almost all perfectly aligned, except perhaps one:)
And more! They have all the electricity recessed in the ground! There are no ugly wires in the frame)))
