The monastery was founded at the end of the 14th century. St. Nicholas Cathedral (1681-1683), the refectory with the churches of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian and the Ascension of the Lord (1694-1698), and the gallery connecting them and having two front porches have been preserved. The tiles give the monastery buildings a special beauty and distinctive feature. They are everywhere here. They are used as inserts in galleries, they are used to decorate walls, frame windows and doors, openings, and they are even found on the drums of church heads. There are especially many of them on the walls of the refectory. The images on the tiles are varied: mostly on small tiles there are geometric shapes and flowers; on large tiles you can find a double-headed eagle, a lion and even a unicorn. In general, lovers of details will have something to do. Very beautiful. Clean and well-groomed area, many flowers and a pond with water lilies. For two hours we did not meet any visitors, but, unfortunately, all the churches were closed. Try to visit this fabulous monastery. By taxi from the city center - 400 rubles.

Well, it's just fantastic! Very interesting design: tiles around the entire perimeter of the building! I saw this for the first time! Very nice church, small, but with miraculous relics!

Very very beautiful magical place! With original tile decorations on the walls. Everything is well-groomed, clean, but very deserted. For the entire time of inspection, we did not see a single local person. The door at the checkpoint was open, come in and look.

Stunning beauty of a small monastery in very good condition. Quiet, tidy. The architecture is characteristic, but the tiles distinguish the monastery from others.

A small monastery of the 15th century with a style atypical for the Novgorod region. The buildings are decorated with green tiles depicting animals. The monastery is active, female, very clean, comfortable. We were on a Saturday morning and there were two other tourists besides us. The monastery is fenced with a brick fence, in front of the main entrance there is a small parking lot where several buses or about 20 cars can fit. It is worth visiting this place, but it is better with a guide or read about the monastery in advance, since I did not notice any information stands for tourists on the territory.
