St Alexey of Akatov Women’s Monastery

TIME : 2016/2/19 0:07:38

This restored nunnery, founded in 1674, is near the river on lovely grounds, which include a tiny graveyard surrounded by colourful, lopsided cottages. The interior of the church is covered entirely with frescoes. If you're lucky, you'll catch the nuns' choir in action.
