Description:

The Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh, with a refectory chamber, belongs to the Ivanovo monastery in the Kirillo-Belozero monastery ensemble. It was built in the XVI century, in 1560. Researchers suggest that the church was built on the rich contribution of Tsar Ivan the Terrible and his sons.

The chapel of the church is dedicated to Dionysius Glushitsky, it was consecrated in 1560, hence the date of the construction of the church, although in the annals it is mentioned years earlier.

In 1594, the church was built, so once again consecrated its aisles. In the XX century, in the fifties, the church was restored, and most recently transferred to the monastery operating on the territory of the Kirillo-Belozersk Museum-Reserve.
