Church and Monastery
Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist. This church is rightfully one of the pearls of Uglich. During this period, the restoration.
The church was erected in 1690 with the money of merchant Nikifor Chepolosov. A tragic story is connected with its appearance. One of the servicemen kidnapped and killed the merchant's son Ivan because of hostility towards his master. After some time, the inconsolable father decided to establish a temple on the site of the death of his beloved child.
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.
