Church of Nativity of Most Holy Mother of God

Reviewed By alexey2612 - Moscow, Russia

This Church is commonly known as Stroganoff Church. Officially it is called the Church of the Nativity. But everyone calls it by the name of its funders - the rich family of Stroganoff (French style spelling). The church was visited by Peter the Great himself. In the Soviet times it was planned to be demolished. Saved by the last priest who served here before the Revolution, who persuaded the government to preserve it for the art sake. So it became the museum of atheism, and the priest - its director, his deputy - a guard. Such a twist of history.

Pechersky Ascension Monastery

Reviewed By alexey2612 - Moscow, Russia

The monastery is situated in a low bank of the Volga river. I came here by public transportation. It can be seen from the cable-car. The monastery was founded in 14 th century by monks from Kiev Pechora monastery. They settled several miles away from the Nizhni Novgorod Kremlin. Now it is almost in the city center. In 2013 the monument to Alexander II was unveiled who visited the monastery in 1858. I enjoyed the atmosphere of this place.

I'm not a fan of the exterior color, but the inside of this church is beautiful. Wood iconostases. Beautiful painting all over the interior.

This is one of the best places to observe sunsets in the city. The amazing view on the two rivers and the “Strelka”, when Oka becames to Volga. Also you could see all down districts of the city with football stadium, Alexander Nevsky cathedral and “Yarmarka” (old fair’s building).
