Uspenskiy Kolotskiy Zhenskiy Monastyr'

The monastery was founded in 1413, but it does not smell of antiquity here, unlike, for example, the Luzhetsky Ferapontov monastery on the other side of Mozhaisk. The main icon - the Kolochskaya icon - is not an original, but a list. The nuns are not very kind, as if they came to their house and walk in it, although the monastery is an object of Russian cultural heritage. You cannot climb the bell tower, from which Kutuzov and then Napoleon examined the possible battlefield. From the pros. There are relics of Russian saints, including Matrona of Moscow. An interesting historical past, which, alas, is visually little confirmed. An additional point for a wonderful source in the place where the icon was found. And a very beautiful view now, when ripe cereals in the field are golden. I will add about the water from the source. When boiling, the entire kettle is filled with white flakes of suspension and covered with a bloom.

A historical place, it is here that Denis Davydov, a hero, poet and hussar, organized the first regular partisan detachment. Silence, beauty and a great opportunity to comprehend the difficult path of our Great country ...

Many relics! A very spiritual place, although inconspicuous. Well worth a visit!

I liked the monastery, God's Grace
