Mirozh monastery
Description:
The oldest monastery of Pskov will enchant you with the landscape, surprise you with architecture, fascinate you with history and amaze you with unique frescoes. The true 12th century will look at you and you will look at it. Do we have many such monuments in Russia? Take the opportunity to see it!
Everything is unique in the Mirozhsky Monastery: frescoes of the 12th century, which have no analogues in Russia in terms of the time of creation, the area of painting and the degree of preservation, the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral of the 12th century. And even later monuments included in the monastery complex will be able to surprise you - for example, the most interesting iconostasis of the Stefanov Church (17th century), made by the famous icon painter of the 20th century Father Zenon. You will also see in the makeshift monastery museum minerals from which paints were once made. And in order not to fall into pathos, I will tell you why the abbot chained the monks in their cells, and why the monks complained to the city authorities about beatings from the abbot.
That's how controversial he is, our Mirozhsky Monastery.
