1. Church of Nativity of Most Holy Mother of God

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.

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 live in NN and I love this zoo so much. First of all, there are a lot of different animals. Animals are really friendly and funny. You can buy some food and feed them here. P.S. But be careful with goats. They really like eating, so they can run after you to get some food.
