Like the kremlin, this monastery is surrounded by big white walls. The main church inside is beautiful, and I loved the decor.

Assumption Cathedral

Reviewed By CAPerth

As others have noted this church located next to the Kremlin is under restoration and looks like a burnt out shell. But this is what adds to the appeal, to see the faded wall frescoes and the empty iconostasis. We were fortunate to see some of the restoration of the paintings on the wall panels and doors in progress – obviously a very slow and painstaking process.
