Holy Trinity Stefano-Mahrishchik convent

Holy Trinity Stefano-Makhrischi Monastery was founded in the 1350s by St. Stephen, a native of the Kiev-Pechersk Monastery.

In the XVI century, a stone church of the Holy Trinity was built here. In the same century, the relics of St. Stephen were found incorruptible, over which a church was built in his honor. In the XVIII century, a stone fence and the church of St. Sergius of Radonezh were built over the eastern gates, and in the XIX century - the church of the First Supreme Apostles Peter and Paul above the northern gates and fraternal buildings. At the same time, a three-tiered bell tower was attached to the Trinity Church.

In 1900, a shelter for orphans and children of the surrounding residents was established in the monastery. In 1922 the monastery was closed.

In 1993, the work of the monastery was resumed as the work of the hermitage of the Assumption convent in the city of Alexandrov. In 2004, the Holy Trinity Stefano-Mahrishchi Monastery acquired the status of a stavropegial monastery.
