Alekseevsky Monastery
Beyond the Stone Creek, on a hill called in ancient times "Ogneva Gora", stands the Alekseevsky, now a female, monastery. Once upon a time this place was a pagan temple. This is the oldest monastery in Uglich and one of the oldest in Russia.
It was founded according to the plan of Metropolitan Alexy in 1371 to strengthen the position of Moscow in the Upper Volga region, after the destruction of Uglich by Michael of Tver. This date is generally accepted, but rather conditional. According to some sources, the abode is 80 years older.
The main pearl of the monastery is the three-tent church - the Assumption Brave. The church was built in 1628 in memory of the people who died during the siege of the monastery during the Polish-Lithuanian intervention (1608-1611). The monastery was completely destroyed, all the brethren and the townspeople who were hiding in it, and this is about 600 people, were killed.
