Novojerusalemskiy monastery in Russian. Located near Istra railroad/bus station, 10 minute walk distance. 40km northwest from Moscow. On Volokolomskoe expressway.
Renovation was going on more than 10 years, and now, from a couple years ago, whole renew project is going on. Everywhere looks like construction site. On 2016, will be completed according to their schedule.
Main temple is closed from time to time. Sometimes you can see underground, sometimes 2nd floor. Very beautiful temple building. Saints cemetries. Almost Russian churches, cathedrals, monasteries - no entrance fee. This monastery has high thick walls like a fortress. You can see canons in front of the gate.
It's famous place. So many people comes after wedding. Many tourists and many Russian religious peoples. Parking lots are big, but full every weekends and holidays.
This region is one of the most beautiful place near Moscow. Beautiful dacha area.
It's the place also, president or vice-president visits on new years eve often.

Istrinsky Drama Theater

Reviewed By Alex R - Moscow, Russia

Сам по себе театр небольшой, уютный. Находится около памятника Ленина, пешком от станции минут 17 (2 остановки на автобусе). Если ехать на Московском автобусе, можно его попросить высадить у памятника Ленину.

Plumber Statue

Reviewed By GAF1604 - Moscow, Russia

Согласна с предыдущим оппонентом, памятник как памятник. Но если вдруг будете рядом, например в кафе Давидоф, пройдите 50 метров в сторону парка и Центральной площади, остановитесь около ворот Истринского водоканала и сфотографируйте этот памятник

Sts. Konstantin and Elena Church

Reviewed By IGOR G - Moscow, Russia

Прекрасно помню то состояние храма еще совсем недавно, когда подземная часть была завалена и закрыта, а теперь какая красота, можно спустится вниз, поставить
свечку, набрать воды из источника.
Увидеть скромное надгробие сына великого полководца Александра Васильевича
Суворова, Аркадия Александровича и его матери Варвары.
Как здорово увидеть такую красоту вновь!

Church of the Nativity

Reviewed By IGOR G - Moscow, Russia

Вот вот и закончится реставрация, великолепная красота!
Помню еще лет двадцать назад здесь была разруха, завалы строительного хлама.
Сейчас в начале декабря, в солнечный день нам открылось просто чудо чудесное,
мы ждали этого, так что бы в будни и в хорошую погоду, подарок.
Пока подойти ближе и тем более войти в храм нет возможности, хотя слышно было,
служба проходит, путем опроса сотрудников выяснили, что со дня на день будет все доступно и открыто, пока только можно посетить главный храм и полубоваться красотой, набрать воды в подземном источнике, когда-то заваленной церкви. Неожиданное чудо, как же приятны такие перемены, это радостно!

Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin

Reviewed By volgoman - Volgograd, Russia

Этот храм отличается от величественных сооружений Ново-Иерусалимского монастыря. Тут все гораздо скромнее и умиротвореннее. Храм с богатой историей: от дворян Морозовых до артели по пошиву сумок. В настоящее это полностью восстановленный храм с красивой колокольней и ухоженной территорией.

Reviewed By apexob - Moscow, Moscow City, Russia

Одно из самых мистических и притягательных мест Истры. Эти зиккураты Теслы давно не используются, но тем не менее на посетителей производят неизгладимое впечатление. Нужно только понимать, что все это находится на охраняемой территории и не факт что вы туда попадете.
