Mention of this structure can be found in the world famous "Tale of Bygone Years" - Under his walls, Prince Izyaslav Vladimirovich allegedly died.

For a rather long time monastery was a defensive line of Murom. In this regard, there were ruins and perestroika.
Gradually, the monastery was acquired by outbuildings, and the bell tower, and the school. BUT the urgent corps was the first building of stone in the whole city.

Important: despite the huge story, at the moment the monastery is well -groomed. It occupies a fairly large territory on which the Transfiguration Cathedral, erected in the 16th century, is especially distinguished-it is recommended to pay attention to it when visiting the monastery.

Flower beds with many flowers, a pond, a small zoo - this monastery boasts along with ancient history.

The Nikitsky Monastery, also called Pereyaslavl-Zalessky, is located near the park Pleshcheyevo Lake. The son of Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavovich Boris, along with Bishop Ilarion, decided to create the churches on this lake. So they wanted to affirm Christianity. It is assumed that one of the churches built at that time became the basis for the monastery.

The monastery received its second name in honor of St. Nikita Stolpnik. Although some researchers doubt the life of the pillar.

Already in the 12th century, this structure was started in the annals.

Initially, the building was built of wood. However, in the 12th century, Mstislav the Great ordered to erect a temple of stone, which he hastened to fulfill the architect Peter - this was how it appeared St. George Cathedral. In recent years, archaeological studies have been conducted on the territory of the cathedral, thanks to which they found interesting frescoes.
