Water Gate with the Gateway Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord

In the Kirillo-Belozersky monastery in the summer you can go to the Siversky Lake from the Water Gate. The water gates together with the Church of the Transfiguration are located in the western wall of the Great Assumption Monastery, part of the cultural and historical complex of the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery. They were created in 1595, although, according to experts, the gates were created earlier than the Church of the Transfiguration. The church was built together with the construction artel by the elder Leonid Shirshov.

The Gate and the Church of the Transfiguration are included in the system of the monastery fence. The gates currently open in summer and are inspected on any excursion to the monastery complex. At the exit to the lake you can see the laid descent to the water.

In the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord you can see a very beautiful iconostasis, inside the church there is a monumental painting.
