Resurrection Monastery
Resurrection Monastery, Uglich
Resurrection monastery: the man-made pride of ancient Uglich. Surprisingly, no one can say for sure who and when initiated the creation of this magnificent Orthodox monastery, located on the banks of the Volga.
The most likely version is that the monastery was founded by Prince of Uglich Roman Vladimirovich. During his reign in the 13th century, the territory of the principality united 7 cities. Uglich was the largest settlement, capital.
After the revolution, the building was given under the Museum of Antiquities, and warehouses were placed on the lower tiers of the premises. Later, the monastery was in the zone of construction of the Uglich hydroelectric station. Conducted at this time to strengthen the walls and the ground saved a unique historical monument.
In 1999, the building was returned to the parishioners, and the monastery again began to exist. But not everything has been restored.
