Description:
In the Stupinsky district of the Moscow region there is a female Orthodox Holy Trinity Belopesotsky monastery.
According to the first mention of the monastery, Vladimir Belopesotsky is considered the founder.
In the XVII century, the monastery was considered a fortress. Along it was just the state border. He defended the state from the raids of the Crimean Tatars and other nomadic peoples.
Over time, the Belopesotsky Monastery lost its military importance and was soon annexed to the Kolomna Bishops’ House.
Inside the monastery there are many historically significant buildings: the Cathedral of the Trinity of Life-Giving, the Church of Sergius of Radonezh, the Church of Nicholas the Wonderworker, the Church of the Beheading of the Head of John the Forerunner, as well as the Monastery Necropolis.
To date, the abbot of the monastery is Abbess Agnya Sudarchikov.
