Sergiyev Posad , Dreifaltigkeitkloster
Sergiyev Posad
is a city and the administrative center of Sergiyevo-Posadsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia.
It grew in the 15th century around one of the greatest of Russian monasteries, the Trinity Lavra established by St. Sergius of Radonezh.
The town status was granted to it in 1742.
As the town's name, alluding to St. Sergius, had strong religious connotations, the Soviet authorities changed first to just Sergiyev in 1919, and then to Zagorsk in 1930, in memory of the revolutionary Vladimir Zagorsky.
