Kazan Monastery (Yaroslavl)

20 Trefoleva Street, Yaroslavl.

The Monastery was founded in 1610 instead of the previous one, which burned down during the 1609 siege of the Poles. A copy of the Our Lady of Kazan Icon, which is dated back to the 16th century, became a Monastery's sacred object.

According to legend, defenders of Yaroslavl moved the wonder-working icon from one church to another as the enemy fought their way forward. The Poles could not conquer Yaroslavl. For its citizens, it was a sign of protection by Our Lady of Kazan. Since then, the Monastery has symbolized a victory over the Polish-Lithuanian invaders. In 1612, the Icon of Our Lady of Kazan accompanied Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky during their Moscow liberation campaign.

From the mid 17th to the second half of the 19th centuries, the stone Kazan Church, stone cells, monastery walls, and the Churches of the Intercession and the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple were built within the monastery precinct.

The late classical big Kazan Cathedral with five domes was built in 1845 upon the design by architect Abram Melnikov.

In 1918, the Monastery was abolished. Many buildings were redesigned. The bell tower was demolished.

Today, the Monastery is under control of the Orthodox Church.
