Chrypological convent

The Khrybokdestvensky women's monastery is located two kilometers from the center of Tver. It was founded at the beginning of the 14th century on an elevated place on the banks of the Tmaki River, which is still called Gorki. In the 16th century, it was a prosperous and well-known monastery in Moscow, the abbess-abbots of which Tsars Vasily Ivanovich and Ivan Vasilyevich the Terrible were given certificates.

The improvement and strengthening of the monastery lasted several centuries until the Lithuanian ruin, during which the monastery was looted. The main temple and monastic cells were burned, most of the sisters were killed or dispersed. At the end of the troubled time, the surviving abbess Apollinaria and five nuns returned to the ashes and began to restore it again. The restoration was not completed until 1820, thanks to significant contributions and donations.

The new Cathedral of Christ was built according to the project of Charles of Russia. This is a huge five-domed cathedral, which is one of the largest in the Tver region. It's Empire style. Nearby in 1913, a church was built in honor of the Resurrection of Christ, whose architect was M.P. Omelusta. Unlike the main cathedral, it is made in the neo-Russian style and stylized under the forms of Novgorod and forging architecture.
